New Delhi, July 26 (NationPress) In a significant development, the Inter-State Cell of the Delhi Police Crime Branch has taken into custody a 70-year-old parole violator, Hamidullah Bundu Khan, who was convicted for the poisoning deaths of his three minor daughters in a harrowing double murder case from 1999.
Hamidullah, sentenced to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment for the murder of his two younger daughters and attempted murder of the eldest, was arrested on July 25 after evading law enforcement for four years.
He had absconded after being granted parole and never returned to prison. The operation leading to his arrest was conducted under the vigilant supervision of ACP Ramesh Chandra Lamba and the leadership of Inspector Satender Poonia.
This successful operation involved a dedicated team, including Inspector Sohan Lal Bijarniya, Sub Inspector Mukesh, ASI Vinay, and Constable Amit, who utilized weeks of technical surveillance, manual tracking, and confidential informant tips. The gruesome crime transpired on the evening of July 29, 1999, in Delhi’s Old Mustafabad area.
After the passing of his wife, Hamidullah was living alone with his three daughters, while two older daughters were already married. On that fateful night, he gave each of the girls capsules, claiming they were for stomach pain.
The eldest daughter, suspicious of his intentions, pretended to swallow the pill. Shortly after, her younger sisters began to foam at the mouth and gasp for air. She rushed for help, but both girls were pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital. Hamidullah fled the scene but was apprehended the following day.
Convicted under Sections 302, 307, and 328 of the IPC, Hamidullah had been serving his sentence before he went missing during parole. He had been hiding in Loni, Ghaziabad, frequently changing his location to avoid capture.
The relentless efforts of the Crime Branch ultimately led to his arrest, proving that justice will prevail, no matter how long it takes.
