Ahmedabad: Brothers kill, rob sister after Rakhi

AHMEDABAD: City crime branch on Sunday detained two brothers Sajijul Shaikh, 40, and his younger brother Rojoali Shaikh, 27, both from Ramol, for allegedly killing their elder sister Souki alias Mira Ramswaroop Sadhu, 45, at her apartment in Sarita Residency, Ramol on Aug, 4.
Senior superintendent of police, crime branch, Deepan Bhadran said that it is an irony that the two younger brothers had planned the murder using the pretext of tying Rakhi to visit her at her home.“They tied Rakhi, had tea made by their elder sister and then stabbed her to death. They then broke open the wooden cupboard and robbed gold and silver jewellery worth Rs 6 lakh,” Bhadran said.
“The duo had met on August 2, and decided to kill their sister because they thought that because of Souki, Sajijul’s wife had divorced him and now he was not getting another girl to marry. They thought if this continues the younger brother will also not get a bride. Souki had two interfaith marriages, one with Rakesh Nepali and later when Nepali died, with Ramswaroop Sadhu. Hence they decided to kill her and loot the jewellery, which they knew she used keep in a wooden cupboard,” added Bhadran.
ACP crime branch, B V Gohil said that the brothers had brought their elder sister Souki to Ahmedabad from Kolkata and there was continued dispute in their house over her.
