8 years on, stepfather among 2 convicted for murder of teenager
Pragya Kaushika, Wed, Jun 01 2011, Ghaziabad:
It took Seema Kumari eight years to get justice for her murdered teenage daughter. A Special CBI court in Ghaziabad, on Tuesday, convicted her second husband Chandrabhan Pandey and his brother Surajbhan of murder, conspiracy and destruction of evidence. The sentence will be pronounced on Wednesday.
The body of the victim was never found.
“I never had a chance to live my life after my family arranged my second marriage with Chandrabhan. He wanted my house and when I refused, he killed my daughter. I fought for eight years to have the culprits pay for their crime,” said Seema, mother of 14-year-old Khushboo, who was murdered in 2003.
According to S Islam, senior public prosecutor, CBI, Seema, an assistant accountant with a private firm, married Pandey, an electrician, after getting separated from her first husband, with whom she had had Khushboo. Seema, Pandey and Khushboo started living together at Swaroop Park in Sahibabad.
The house belonged to Seema, and Pandey gradually began to pressurise her to get the house transferred in his name, which Seema refused to do, the CBI counsel stated. According to the chargesheet filed in the court, on April 21, 2003, when Seema returned from work, she could not find her daughter. She finally lodged a complaint with the Sahibabad police on June 16, 2003.
In 2005, the Allahabad High Court directed the CBI to investigate the matter.
Senior public prosecutor Islam said after submitting the statement of 21 witnesses, CBI told the court that Khushboo’s step-father Chandrabhan Pandey strangulated her with the help of his brother Surajbhan. During investigation, the brothers said they had dumped the body near G T Road, but it could not be found.
