Upset with his mother for not supporting him financially after his marriage, a 24-year-old jeweller`s son allegedly murdered his mother, Kanchan Verma, and looted valuables worth over Rs 1 crore from the house in Saroj Nagar Colony of Aligarh on Friday.
The accused, identified as one Yogesh, and his three associates, including two women, were arrested on Sunday and stolen gold, diamond and silver jewellery have been recovered from them.
The Aligarh police nabbed the suspects within 48 hours of the crime and unravelled a gory trail of greed.
Police said jeweller Kuldeep Verma’s son Yogesh, who is a Commerce graduate, was living separately in rented accommodation for the past six months after he tied a knot with a married woman Sonam against his parents` wishes.
He was also jobless.
Facing financial issues, Yogesh chalked a plan to loot his own house.
His wife, Sonam; friend, Tanuj Chaudhary; and Tanuj’s girlfriend, Shehjal Chauhan; were all part of the plot.
On Friday, he first dropped his pregnant wife to a doctor’s clinic for a check-up and then went to his parents` house with Tanuj and Shehjal.
While they left Shehjal a few metres away from the house to keep an eye outside, the duo stepped into the house for the crime.
Kanchan - in her 50s - opened the door for her son and let him and his friend in.
During interrogation, Yogesh confessed that he told his mother that he had come to pick his clothes and then strangled her with her saree to avoid leaving behind any evidence.
