Prayagraj: The body of year 11-year-old Sharad was found in a rose field in Mahewa Nai Basti Naini. The gruesome killing sent waves of fear through the community, with whispers of betrayal and deep-rooted family discord adding a chilling twist to the story.
On Tuesday, police cracked the case, naming Aditya as the prime accused. Aditya, who was brought before the media in handcuffs, confessed to the murder, revealing a grim picture of psychological turmoil and familial resentment that led him to commit the crime.
The Shadow of Tragedy and Taunts
According to police interrogations, Aditya had been battling emotional distress since April 2024, when his father died tragically in a road accident. Grief soon gave way to depression, and he admitted to contemplating suicide several times but never finding the courage to follow through.
However, Aditya claimed his aunt’s constant taunts about his failures pushed him over the edge.
These sharp words festered in his mind, leaving him feeling humiliated and trapped.
Tensions between him and Sharad’s family reportedly escalated over the months. Even Sharad’s mother, Meena Devi, was upset with him, adding fuel to his growing bitterness.
Police officers revealed that these family tensions reached a breaking point, driving Aditya to meticulously plan Sharad’s murder—a decision that stunned even seasoned investigators.
A Coldly Executed Plan
On the fateful day, Aditya lured Sharad to an isolated spot. The investigation shows that the murder was premeditated, as Aditya had carefully scouted locations to conceal evidence.
With chilling precision, he strangled Sharad, ensuring there would be no struggle, and then dragged the body to a field, hoping it would go unnoticed.
“Aditya’s calmness during interrogation was unnerving. He confessed without hesitation, detailing every step,” a police officer shared.
Cracking the Case
ADCP Yamunanagar Jangbahadur Yadav worked tirelessly alongside the Crime Branch. CCTV footage from multiple cameras near the crime scene, combined with Aditya’s suspicious phone activity, created a trail that pointed squarely at him.
What began as a shocking mystery was solved within days, but the revelation has left the community grappling with the terrifying reality that Sharad’s killer was not a stranger but a family member.
