Narendra Verma (31), a resident of Lakhimpur Kheri has accused his parents of hatching a conspiracy along with other family members and beheading his wife Arundhati Verma in a gruesome crime.
Narendra Verma is an alumnus of Tata Institute of Social Sciences and currently works as a consultant in the Union Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises and Department of MSME and Export in the Uttar Pradesh government.
Verma now wants police to make it a case of rarest of rare crime which invites a death sentence.
Verma claimed that he got married to his girlfriend in May 2013 and since then his parents started disliking the couple as the girl was not of their choice. They wanted Verma to marry somewhere else.
'I left the village with my wife and stayed in different cities like Delhi and Lucknow depending on my work. Since I had very minimal interaction with my parents, the differences never escalated. But they always expressed their vengeance against my wife whenever they got the opportunity,' Verma said.
According to Verma, he could sense the uneasiness and extreme hatred of his parents towards his wife but he had never thought that they would become so cruel to her that they would eventually butcher her to death.
'They pre-planned her murder but committed it in such a way that it looked like an altercation leading to sudden provocation for the crime,' Verma alleged adding that his parents were looking for an opportunity to find his wife alone at home to kill her.
On July 10, when he went for a morning walk, his mother scuffled with my wife and his father brought a sharp axe and hit it on his wife's neck. At the same time, his brother also attacked with a chopper killing his wife. The post-mortem has confirmed that she has been murdered in the most heinous manner.
The local police have lodged an FIR and arrested the parents but Verma wanted to treat the killing as the rarest of rare case and the accused be hanged to death.
