The mother of the software engineer Vinay Gupta, who died after being allegedly assaulted by his wife’s family members in Delhi’s Nihal Vihar, has shared shocking details of the attack on her son.
Four people, including the wife, have been arrested by the police. “I just went to give them a glass of water. They had pinned down my boy. They threw him on the bed and grabbed him by the neck. They kicked and punched him in the stomach,” NDTV quoted the mother as saying.
31-year-old Vinay died on Friday after being beaten up by his wife Rekha’s brothers. He married Rekha, 31, around three-and-a-half years ago, and they have four-month-old twins.
Investigators said Rekha had switched off the CCTV camera installed inside the house before the incident. The deceased, Vinay Gupta, a resident of Laxmi Park, worked as a software engineer at an MNC in Noida, police said. Sharing the details of the incident, his mother said the men pinned her son to the ground and hit him in the stomach.
What was the dispute about
“The two allegedly got into an argument after she refused. Investigators are examining CCTV footage and statements of neighbours and family members to establish the sequence of events. Further investigation is underway.
Rekha, Raju, Vedprakash and Poonam were arrested after a case under sections 103(1) (murder) and 3(5) (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) was registered at the Nihal Vihar police station, police said.
Soon after, Rekha left the house and called her two brothers and sister-in-law,” a senior police officer said. The incident took place on Friday morning after Gupta asked his wife to apply medicine to their son as he had developed blisters on his body, according to police.
