A day after BS) MP Dhananjay Singh’s wife Jagriti was arrested for torturing her maid Rakhi Bhadra (35) to death and beating another minor servant Rampal (17), police is trying to establish the exact sequence of events that led to the murder.
Rakhi was found dead in South Avenue house of Dhananjay. Police said Dhananjay had also thrashed the juvenile help on a couple of occasions after being provoked by Jagriti.
According to sources, Rampal narrated his tale of horror and said that Dhananjay had thrashed him with his boots on a few occasions. However, it was Jagriti, whose continued inhuman and violent attacks proved to be a nightmare for them, said a source.
‘Jagriti’s violent streak was very frequent for the three domestic helps —Rakhi, Meena and Rampal. However, at times, Dhananjay too attacked them after being instigated by Jagriti,’ said SBS Tyagi, DCP (Delhi).
‘Last Friday (1 November), Rakhi was mercilessly thrashed by Jagriti due to some delay in preparing food. Next day, after blood started oozing from one of Rakhi’s injuries, Jagriti scolded all of them saying she hates blood lying on the floor and directed them to clear the stains,’ a police officer said.
At 4 am on Monday morning, Jagriti sent the juvenile to offer some drinking water to Rakhi.
However, finding Rakhi unconscious, Rampal immediately informed Jagriti. The MP’s wife then called up her husband, who was visiting his constituency, Jaunpur in Uttar Pradesh. Dhananjay, upon hearing the news, rushed back to Delhi.
However, while he was on his way to Delhi, Jagriti called up her husband to inform him that Rekha was no more. According to the police, after arriving in Delhi, Dhananjay tampered with the CCTV footage. He then went to the police station to report the incident.
Once the police took note of the incident, they went to his residence and interrogated Rampal. Rampal informed the police about the third maid, Meena (38), who was hidden away by Dhananjay. The police then forced the MP to present the third maid.
According to the police, Meena’s condition at the time was miserable. Her teeth were broken, her right hand was fractured, left hand bore deep injury marks, both her legs had got weak due to continuous beating. The police said Meena revealed that Jagriti often used to cut her hair in a haphazard manner using a razor, to prevent her from escaping.
