Junagadh (Gujarat): A woman was killed in a road accident in the Junagadh district of Gujarat last Saturday. But when police scanned the CCTV camera footage, they realized it was a murder and not an accident. The accused reportedly killed the woman because the victim knew about his affair with another woman.
Police sources said that sensing that the elderly woman would one day reveal his 'secrets' to society, the accused Adil Khan Pathan hatched a plot to kill her and tried to frame it as a road accident. But the game plan of the accused turned awry and his gruesome act was captured on CCTV footage.
The woman died after being hit by a vehicle in Junagadh's Sukhnath Chowk locality last Saturday. The deceased was a resident of Hanumangarhi in Junagadh. The brother of the deceased, Rafiq Chauhan, filed a complaint with the concerned police station stating that his sister was killed with an intention of murder. "Rafiq also appealed to police that the footage of CCTV camera should be scanned as a part of the investigation," police sources said.
