The horrifying game of brutality had started last year
In Bareilly’s three police station areas Shahi, Sheeshganj and Fatehganj, women were being murdered intermittently since July last year. There was an amazing similarity in these murders. That means almost all the murders happened during the afternoon. The murderer was killing women in the age group of 50 to 60 years. He used to kill only those women who were alone. He used sarees or dupattas for the murder.
6 women murdered in 5 months, villagers in fear
He used to tie a knot on the left side of their neck. Another special thing was that most of the murders happened in or around sugarcane fields. All these things were pointing towards the fact that a serial killer is behind these murders. The special thing is that this killer killed about five to six women one by one from July to November last year, but after that he remained inactive for a long time.
Police became active after rape and murder in July
After this, he did not kill anyone for a long time. On 2nd July this year, he suddenly killed another woman in the same Shahi police station area and came under the police radar. Actually, the police noticed that this woman was also killed in the same way as five or six women were killed last year. In such a situation, the police started looking at it as a serial killing.
22 teams, 100 policemen, 2100 CCTVs, Operation Talaash
They started their investigation afresh and named it Operation Talaash. The SSP office was made a ‘war room’. At least 100 policemen divided into 22 police teams got busy with the work. More than 1500 CCTV footages were checked. 600 new CCTV cameras were installed. Not only this, the dump data of 1.5 lakh mobile numbers was checked. The investigation was carried out in a radius of 25 km. Police in plain clothes were deployed in the villages.
Police deployed in every village, search for the serial killer begins
The police started looking for the suspected serial killer by setting up checkpoints in different villages. The policemen searching for him were told to visit every village in or around which women were murdered and try to gather information about the serial killer. The policemen were asked to collect information about the suspects by interrogating the people living there and record all the information in a special register present in the police station.
Kuldeep was arrested after getting input from informers
So that by matching that information, an attempt can be made to understand who could be that serial killer among the lakhs of people living in the district. Apart from this, searching with drones, monitoring of CCTV footage and other methods were also used. In this connection, the police also prepared suspect sketches and finally, based on the inputs received from informers and suspicious activities, the police arrested a 35-year-old man named Kuldeep.
The killer confessed to killing the women
He not only confessed to killing several women one by one, but during interrogation he also took the police to every place where he had killed the women. But the question here was why was the serial killer killing women selectively? Why did he target lonely women on deserted roads? Why did he choose only women between the ages of 50 and 60 for murder?
Why did the serial killer kill only women?
Why did he commit every murder using the pallu of a sari or a woman’s dupatta? What was going on in his mind that he killed only women? As important as these questions are, their answers have also been equally shocking after the arrest of the serial killer. Police say that the accused was a drug addict. There was a lot of turmoil in his personal life as well. After his mother’s death, his stepmother came into the house, which upset him.
Trying to make a relationship after seeing a lonely woman
This is the reason why he started getting irritated with women. After this, his married life also did not go well. His wife left him because she was fed up with his habits. After this, his resentment towards women increased even more and then he started targeting them. He would try to make relations with lonely women, whoever agreed, he would leave them and whoever did not agree, he would kill them. He used saree and dupatta as weapons.
Kuldeep Gangwar was living like a nomad
According to SSP Anurag Arya, Kuldeep, who hails from a rural area of Bareilly, lived like a nomad. He often stayed out of the house. He did not have his own house. He would come to his two sisters or relatives’ house for food and then go out after eating. People used to see and know him, but could never understand that Kuldeep was the one who was killing women. Because he was never caught in any case.
These things have been recovered from the serial killer
It was when the police started making a list of such wanderers, drug addicts and suspicious people that Kuldeep came on the police radar. After this, when his behavior, personal life and his actions came to light, the police’s suspicion on him deepened. He was arrested on the basis of that suspicion. He not only confessed to the murder, but some women’s clothes, jewelry, Aadhar card and money were recovered from him.
