Man poses as bomber, attacks ex-wife's family

NEW DELHI: A man chose the most bizarre way to take revenge from his in-laws, whom he held responsible for his broken marriage. He posed as asuicide bomber and went on a rampage at his ex-wife's house in Jaitpur area of southeast Delhi. Armed with a 9mm pistol and two country-made revolvers, he shot dead his father-in-law, before opening fire on the rest of the family.

The accused, Vikram (30), entered the under-construction house in Meethapur extension around 1.30 am on Tuesday along with two friends. He wore a fake explosive belt with condensers and wires wrapped around his chest. They first fired several shots and stabbed Vikram's former father-in-law, Om Prakash (55), who was sleeping outside on a cot.

Om Prakash's son Jaiprakash was also shot after he ran outside on hearing the noise. Other members of the family, including Vikram's ex-wife Suman (29) were also seriously hurt after being attacked by the three assailants. Vikram had even threatened to blow himself up if anyone tried to stop him.

The three accused then tried to flee but Suman's second brother, Manoj, managed to pin Vikram down. Neighbours soon arrived at the spot and Vikram was handed over to the police.

Family members said that Suman and Vikram had married in 2009 but separated in 2010 following a dispute. The decision was mutual but Vikram had maintained that his in-laws were responsible for the separation.

"Suman had married another man from Haryana a year ago. This was not acceptable to Vikram and he began looking for an opportunity to take revenge," police said.

Vikram planned the attack after he learnt that Suman had come to meet her family for Dussehra. He procured firearms, sharp weapons and bombs and roped in his brother and two friends.

Locals said that Vikram was unemployed and an alcoholic. He lived with his brother and father in the same locality. He also used to allegedly harass Suman for dowry and had even assaulted her several times.

A case under section 302 IPC (murder) and other relevant sections has been registered against Vikram and his friends. Police have recovered a 9mm pistol and two country-made revolvers from him. Vikram was admitted to a hospital after being injured in the scuffle.
