In a bizarre incident, a 35-year-old man killed his wife and two children and buried their bodies inside his house in the Bisrakh area of Greater Noida. The matter came to the fore three years later, when he tried to prove himself dead by killing his friend and keeping his identity card with the dead body in Kasganj.
The two districts police on Wednesday night – Kasganj and Noida – have now exhumed the remains of bodies from the house and sent samples for DNA tests. The man was also arrested by Kasganj Police.

Following fights with his wife, on February 14, 2018, he killed his wife and two children – a 2-year-old son and a 3-year-old daughter and buried their bodies inside his house. Later, staged the drama of her kidnapping.
How police cracked the case?
