His father is a business man and mother is a house wife. He has been married in march-2011. He knows Arvinder Kaur @ Arti @ Varsha since birth as her maternal home is just in his neighbour hood . In the year of 2009 both Sant Saran Nehra & Arti Mehra went to Ponta Sahib, Himachal Pardesh with their families. During this tour Arvinder Kaur @ Arti, being frustrated with the indifferent behavior of her husband, developed a relation ship with Sant Saran Nehra. After retuning from tour Arti started visiting Sant Saran regularly. The frequent visits of Arti to Paharganj raised suspicion in the mind of Sonu and he started behaving rudely and violently towards Arti. Arti also attended the marriage ceremony of Sant Saran against the will of her husband and remained there for three days. Arti disclosed that she is the youngest child of her parents and studied up to 9th standard. She met Sonu Sachdeva @ Varinder Sachdeva(deceased) in train when she was going to Patna, Bihar for examination. Both of them fell in love got married in the year 1997. As the time passed due to the suspicious behavior of her husband their relationship became strained. Sonu started beating her and used filthy language which she never dares to digest. Arti started hating her husband (deceased) and to get rid of him made a plan with her boyfriend Sant Sran Nehra to kill her husband. Sant Saran Nehra was blind in love of Arvinder kaur @ Arti and easily became member of the conspiracy. Sonu is a rich man and Arti has promised that after the death of Sonu she will give part of the wealth to Sant Saran with which he can do a good business. She also lured that she will give Rs 10 lacs once he materialized the plan to murder her husband. Sant Saran Nehra called one of his friend a self styled contract killer Mirdul Dixit R/o Bhopla Madhya Pardesh.

He came to Delhi in 2009 and met Sant Saran Nehra in a restaurant. They became good friends. When Saran Nehra told about the plan of Arti to kill her husband Mirdul Dixit also joined the conspiracy to kill Sonu. Sant Saran being feebly built wanted the help of Mridul Dixit, a heavy and stout built man. Mridul is also in need of money as he is unemployed and got easily cultivated by Sant Saran. Both of them came to the house of Arti as per plan in the morning of 21/09/2011 and Arti opened the door. Sant Saran attacked Sonu by a self made Hammer and Mridul attacked with Ice Poker with the intention to kill Sonu. Arti remained present on the spot and facilitated them to complete the task.

DCP Joy Tirkey have busted a fake Friendship Club and fake Body Massage Training Centre, operating from Dabri and Uttam Nagar, Delhi.

The women all belong to age group of 18 to 28 years. The gang duped clients all over Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand by promising them that they would be in contact with willing women who would be their friends and also they would provide ‘clients’ for body massage after they have been trained in body massage by a lady masseur.

Information was received by HC Amit Tomar that a fake Friendship Club and fake Body Massage Training Centre was operating from the area of Dabri and Uttam Nagar, Delhi since the last six months. The racketeers for the Fake Friendship Club and fake Body Massage Training Centre advertised themselves as “VIP Friendship Club”. As regards the massage parlour training centre, they advertised under various names like “Alisha Massage Club”, “International Massage Parlour” and “Enjoy Company”. They advertised in the daily newspapers of Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. In the advertisement they gave the telephone numbers on which they could be contacted. The racketeers exploited the human frailties for the successful operation of the racket.

The modus operandi of the fake “VIP Friendship Club”, was that whenever they received a call they told the caller that they would have to get themselves registered and the initial amount was Rs.2500/- to Rs.4,000/-. They provided a bank account to the caller for depositing the money. Once the caller registered himself he was offered three categories of women contacts for being friends. For the first category he had to deposit Rs.8000/-, for the second category Rs. 5000/- and for the third category Rs. 3000/-. Once the amount was deposited in the bank account, the girls that have been apprehended would play the role model of the category for which the money had been deposited. These girls then continued fleecing the caller till he became suspicious. When the caller became suspicious they stopped picking up the phones.

As regards the fake massage parlour training centre, they only entertained male callers and dissuaded female callers. To induce the caller to join the fake massage parlour training centre, they told that they would not only teach him how to become a masseur but also provide him with a list of clients for him to earn money. They told the caller that if he wanted to be a masseur then he would have to register by paying Rs.2,500/-. A bank account was also provided to him to deposit the money. Once this was done, the girls played the role model of a female masseur and told the caller to deposit Rs. 3500/- for the massage kit. Then the caller was again told to deposit Rs. 8000/- for the lady trainer that would teach him how to become a masseur and that she would also get the massage kit with her. Once all the money was deposited they would stop taking the calls of the caller.

1 laptop, 30 mobile phones, 16 registers, 1 diary, 24 Debit Cards, 3 Forged Voter ID Cards, 1 Forged Driving Licence and 1 Forged Pan Card have been seized.

The racketeers operated 24 bank accounts in 9 banks. All the bank accounts have been opened on fake documents. All the bank accounts are being scrutinized. They operated from 2 premises in the area of Dabri and Uttam Nagar, Delhi. For both the premises they paid rent Rs.8000/- each. The average earning per day was to the tune of Rs. 50,000/.
