New Delhi/Jammu, Mar 7: In a chilling case of twisted suspicion, Delhi Police nabbed Ramesh Kumar from Madhya Pradesh, the prime suspect in the brutal 2016 murder of his 10-year-old daughter in Jammu—allegedly bludgeoned to death with a stick because he doubted she was “his own blood.”
The fugitive, originally from Chhatarpur district in MP, was labouring on construction sites in Jammu when rage took over. “He smashed her head in a fit of paranoia,” a senior cop revealed, noting the girl battled injuries but couldn’t be saved despite hospital care. FIR logged at Gandhi Nagar PS, Kumar bolted immediately, resurfacing years later in Delhi’s underbelly as “Rajveer” to dodge the law.
J&K Police, re-igniting the cold case, tipped off Delhi sleuths about his hideout in Bhati Mines’ Sanjay Colony—a gritty migrant sprawl. Acting on fresh intel, local teams swooped in, cuffed him without drama, and handed him over to Jammu investigators for formal arrest and grilling.
This decade-long cat-and-mouse exposes gaping holes in cross-state probes—Kumar slipped through cracks, blending into Delhi’s labour hordes while justice lagged. Cops hail the bust as closure for a heartbroken community, but questions linger: How many such monsters roam free? With court dates looming, Kumar faces life or worse—paternity “honour” be damned.
