The Sinister Plot Unfolds

Reena Sindhu, a 31-year-old physiotherapist, had been married to Ravindra, a wealthy businessman nearly 20 years her senior. Their love story began in a clinic, blossomed quickly, and soon led to marriage. Ravindra, smitten, showered Reena with gifts—including a luxurious flat worth crores in Moradabad.

But as Ravindra’s fortunes waned and his business began to collapse, the cracks in their marriage widened. Desperate to maintain her lavish lifestyle and already involved in an extramarital affair with Paritosh, a man three years her senior, Reena began to hatch a deadly plan.

The Murder for Money and Love

According to police reports and confessions, Reena lured her lover Paritosh with the promise of ₹1 lakh and a future together, funded by the sale of her husband’s property—worth up to ₹3–4 crores. The plan was simple yet sinister: eliminate Ravindra, claim the property, and start anew.

On the night of June 1st, Reena invited Ravindra to Paritosh’s house in Bijnor under the guise of a visit. Once there, she plied him with alcohol until he was heavily intoxicated. As Ravindra lost control, Reena grabbed his legs, holding him down, while Paritosh attacked him with a shovel, striking repeatedly until Ravindra lay dead.

Disposal and Deception

The couple then transported Ravindra’s body in his own car, driving deep into the forests of Kotdwar, Uttarakhand, where they disposed of the remains. Confident in their plan, Reena and Paritosh returned to Noida, believing they had committed the perfect crime.

But fate had other plans. CCTV cameras captured their car at two toll booths, and when Ravindra’s body was discovered on June 5th, police quickly connected the dots. A missing person complaint filed by Ravindra’s brother further tightened the noose around the accused.

Unraveling the Motive

Investigations revealed that Reena had married Ravindra for his wealth, but as his business failed and debts mounted, her ambitions shifted. Fearing the loss of her luxurious lifestyle—and with a new lover by her side—she chose murder over compromise.

Police also discovered that Ravindra had earlier left his first wife and son in Delhi, moving to Moradabad for a fresh start. His tragic end, orchestrated by the woman he trusted most, has left the community stunned.

Police Crack the Case

With mounting evidence, including CCTV footage and confessions, Reena and Paritosh were arrested and presented in court. The police statement confirmed, “The main accused is the second wife, Reena Sindhu, and her lover. The motive was property and an illicit relationship.”

A Cautionary Tale for Society

This shocking case joins a growing list of crimes where greed and betrayal lead to deadly consequences. As these stories become more frequent, police and social commentators urge society to reflect on the values of trust, loyalty, and the dangers of unchecked ambition.
