He wanted a job as a father, the son allegedly hired assassins to kill him
A shocking case has come to light in Jharkhand’s Dhanbad district, where a man has been arrested for allegedly hiring assassins to kill his father so that he could get a job on compassionate grounds, police said.The victim, Tuleshwar Nonia, was working in a coal mine of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL) in Barora and had only two years of service left before retirement. According to the police, his son Vijay Chauhan wanted a permanent job in mining after his father’s death and planned the murder with two men, Amit Singh and Akhilesh Mallah. All three have been arrested.Dhanbad S Rural Superintendent of Police Mohammed Yakub said, “Nonia was a coal worker at a BCCL mine in Barora. He had only two years of service left in BCCL. His son Vijay Chauhan wanted to secure a permanent job in mining on compassionate grounds after his father’s death and conspired to eliminate his father.”Police claimed that Chauhan had offered Rs 10 lakh to Singh and Mallah to carry out the murder, though no advance payment was made before the crime.According to the investigation, Chauhan allegedly created an alibi by telling his father that he was traveling to Aurangabad from Bihar to attend a relative’s wedding. He left home on Friday morning.Police said that after Nonia finished her shift on the night of June 19, Singh and Mallah offered to lift her motorcycle. They allegedly took him to a remote location, where they killed him by hitting him with a large stone.Investigators said the accused then hacked off Nonia’s face to conceal her identity and dragged the body to the main road to make the killing look like a road accident.The case took a turn after the police examined the CCTV footage of the BCCL system at the AMP Colliery. According to Yakub, the footage showed Nonia riding the motorcycle with Singh and Mallah.“The CCTV footage from the BCCL system at the AMP Colliery clearly showed Nonia riding the same motorcycle with Singh and Mallah. Acting on this lead, the police arrested the two men and subjected them to rigorous interrogation, eventually uncovering the whole truth,” the officer said.The police also said that Mallah has a criminal record and was earlier jailed in cases related to coal and diesel thefts registered at Madhuban police station.
