Some of the police investigations in India are laughable. Murder charges are framed, people are randomly jailed, only to learn after years how the alleged deceased was alive and living happily.
In one such case reported from Madhya Pradesh, a young woman who was supposedly dead nine years ago has been found alive. In the bargain, her father and brother had been in jail on charges of this woman’s murder.
Haryana: Karnal Woman Arrested For Murdering Neighbour To Fake Her Own Death & Elope With Lover
Case:
Kanchan Uike was 14-years-old when she went missing from Jopanala village in Chhindwara, around 300km from Bhopal, in the year 2014.
Her father, Sannu Uike, filed a complaint with police, however, Kanchan remained missing for seven years. In the year 2021, the police claimed to have cracked the case, and alleged that Kanchan’s brother, Sonu, had killed her with the help of their father and buried her body in a nearby mango field.
Impending DNA Testing
The police then approached SDM court to conduct an excavation of the area where they suspected Kanchan’s remains to be buried. They found 210 bones, including parts of the skull, hands, and feet, which were sent for DNA testing.
According to Kanchan’s family, since the remains of the dead body were traced from their family grave, the police made them easy targets and charged them with Kanchan’s murder.
Even when the DNA report from the overburdened forensic laboratory at Sagar was pending, police went ahead with the belief that they had found Kanchan’s bones, arrested her brother and father, and charged them with her murder.
Police Investigation
The police then claimed that the father-son duo admitted that Sonu had killed his sister by hitting her on the head with a stick “with the assistance of their father”. Subsequently, Sannu and Sonu were arrested and put behind bars. While the father was granted bail after spending a year in jail, Sonu still remains in prison.
Dead Woman Found Alive
Shockingly, on March 29, 2023, Kanchan was found alive, married and living happily with her husband and two children.
In her statement, Kanchan confessed that she left home after a disagreement with her family and travelled to Bhopal before settling in Ujjain. She claimed to have no idea that her brother and father had been accused of her murder until she met a man who recognised her while she was visiting her in-laws.
After sharing memories of her childhood, her mother confirmed her identity, and told her that her brother was still behind bars. Shocked and distressed, Kanchan immediately went to the police, demanding that her brother be released and compensation be paid to her family.
What does this say about police investigation, evidences and random arrests of poor persons only to close case and make them languish in jails? The police will also have to investigate whose remains did they actually find.
