Kanpur medicine trader murder case: Why Did Son Plot His Father’s Killing? Major Revelations in Police Probe

Lucknow | The Uttar Pradesh Police have made a major breakthrough in the murder case of Kanpur-based medicine trader Vineet Minocha with the arrest of his son, Subrat Minocha. According to the police, Subrat allegedly hatched the conspiracy to have his father killed.

The investigation revealed that Subrat was reportedly worried that his father might marry again. He was also allegedly upset over his father’s personal life. Police said these circumstances led him to plan his father’s murder.

According to the police, on September 5, domestic help Vishal and his associate Rajkishore allegedly stabbed Vineet Minocha to death at Subrat’s behest. Images of the alleged attackers were captured on a neighbour’s CCTV camera following the incident. The post-mortem examination reportedly found 17 stab wounds on the victim’s body.

Police Commissioner Raghubir Lal said that during the investigation, the police questioned Vineet’s daughter-in-law Shalu, domestic help Vishal and Rajkishore in several rounds while they were in remand. During the questioning, Subrat’s name reportedly surfaced, following which he was arrested.

The investigation also revealed that Vishal had worked at Vineet’s medical store from 2012 to 2022. He was reportedly dismissed from the job over allegations of theft. According to the police, Vishal later helped Subrat steal from his father’s medical store.

Police claimed that Subrat was carrying a debt of around Rs 40 lakh and received a monthly salary of Rs 40,000 from his father. According to the police, he resorted to stealing from his father’s medical store to repay his debts, and it was during this period that he allegedly plotted his father’s murder.

According to the police, Subrat had agreed to pay Rs 6 lakh to the alleged killers for carrying out the murder and had given them Rs 2 lakh as an advance. He also allegedly instructed them that if they were caught, they should name his wife, Shalu, in the murder case.

During questioning in custody, Shalu reportedly told the police that her husband, Subrat, should be released and that she should be sent to jail instead. The police are now investigating the entire conspiracy, the financial transactions involved and the role of other people who may have been involved in the case.
