On the 21st of April, Rohit Shekhar Tiwari’s wife, Apoorva Shukla, and two members of the domestic help, were detained by the Crime Branch in connection with Rohit’s death.
According to Rohit’s mother, Ujjwala, her son and his wife didn’t share a cordial relationship since the first day of their marriage. “It is shocking to learn that my son was murdered. What do I say? Let the mourning end. Why was Rohit not woken up when he was sleeping till 4 pm (on Tuesday?)”
Sources close to the incident said Rohit had dinner around 11.30 P.M., and after consuming half a bottle of liquor, Rohit went to sleep. Despite having so much alcohol, his mother and other sources said while he was drunk, he didn’t look intoxicated when he went to sleep.
It is also said, when Apoorva was questioned, she gave contradictory responses as compared to other members of the household. The prime suspects in this case according to the Crime Branch are Apoorva and Rohit’s brother, Siddharth. Apoorva was detained and questioned by the Crime Branch for over 8 hours on the 21st of April.
According to Ujjwala, the relationship between Apoorva and Rohit was so bad, they were living in separate bedrooms before Rohit’s death. After Rohit went up to his room, he called Apoorva and complained of pain in his legs. The police analysed 35 numbers used by Rohit’s family and registered a murder case after the autopsy report.
The Crime Branch thinks an insider is involved in the murder and the death occured between 1.00 A.M., and 2.00 A.M., in the morning.
