How the Faridabad Police caught the “Psycho Killer”?
While unfolding the details of the cases, the Police claimed that in 2019, Raj, a resident of Jasana village in Faridabad, allegedly molested the daughter of a tea vendor and killed her when she resisted.
In August 2020, Raj committed another crime by killing a 12-year-old girl in a hospital after she resisted molestation. The series continued in June 2021, when he murdered another minor girl who was employed as a cleaner in the hospital.
Police confirmed that he confessed to the killing of his uncle and cousin. Raj has been convicted and given a life sentence in the 2022 kidnapping-murder case. They further confirmed that other cases linked to the “psycho killer” are still pending before the courts.
