Shocking details in Kanpur businessman Vineet Minocha's murder: His several ‘lovers’, son's property fear
According to police officials, Vineet Minocha's son Subrat plotted the murder over a span of three months and also framed his wife Shalu for it.
Details have come to light in the murder inquiry of Kanpur businessman Vineet Minocha, a 60-year-old pharmaceutical mogul, on September 5. It has emerged that his son, Subrat Minocha, masterminded the killing and framed his wife, Shalu Manocha, for the crime. The revelation came 19 days after the murder, during the questioning of all three suspects.
Minocha, who ran his business with Subrat on Kanpur's Birhana Road, was stabbed to death in his Ratan Orbit apartment in Kalyanpur. Initially, Subrat intended for the hitmen to suffocate his father with a pillow and later claim it was a heart attack. However, the plan shifted when Vineet spotted the killers and raised the alarm, leading to Vishal's action.
Subrat's motive was to prevent his father from transferring property to another woman, given his numerous affairs. Additionally, Subrat was deeply in debt, owing around ₹40 lakh, and receiving only a ₹40,000 monthly allowance from his father. Shalu, despite their occasional disagreements, had aided Subrat in repaying his debts. The case has advanced with the arrest of Shalu, Subrat, and the hired killers Vishal and Rajkishore.
However, the discovery of Subrat's deceit has the potential to alter the situation, possibly leading to Shalu's release.
