In Part 1, we saw how the brutal murder of 22-year-old Naveen in Jatara, Tikamgarh district, on July 17, 2022, sent shockwaves across the area. Just 14 days after his wedding, Naveen was stabbed to death in broad daylight. That afternoon, Naveen had stepped out of his house but did not return. As concern grew within the family, news spread that a youth was lying in a field, soaked in blood. When his father, Mahip Ghosh, reached the spot, he was devastated — the body was Naveen’s. Multiple stab wounds to the neck had killed him on the spot. Anjali herself had sent him to get jamun Connecting the dots of the day of the murder, the police found that Anjali sent Naveen out of the village on the pretext of getting jamun. At the same time, she called Akshay and informed him of the location. Akshay and his minor accomplice reached the spot and repeatedly attacked Naveen with knives. He was stabbed multiple times in the neck, leading to his on-the-spot death. Eyewitness saw the entire incident During the incident, a villager, Veer Singh, saw the accused and tried to save Naveen, but it was too late by then. The accused fled from the scene. After the entire conspiracy was exposed, the police arrested Anjali, her lover Akshay, and two minor accomplices. The case proceeded in the Jatara Court of Tikamgarh. Justice served after two years During the hearing, the accused fabricated different stories to escape. Sometimes they blamed the brother-in-law, and sometimes the complainant Narendra. But the court declared all these arguments false and misleading. About two years later, on September 24, 2024, the court delivered its verdict. Anjali and Akshay were sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Naveen, while the case of the minor accused was handed over to the juvenile court.
