New Delhi : Shalu Minocha, who was released after spending 21 days in jail in connection with the murder of her father-in-law, Kanpur-based millionaire businessman Vineet Minocha, said she was unaware that her husband had allegedly planned the killing.
After her release, Shalu told media that she had no knowledge of her husband’s alleged plan. “I had absolutely no idea my husband was planning all this, she said. Shalu was arrested shortly after the murder of her father-in-law, Vineet Minocha. Police had suspected that she was involved in the alleged plot and had hired two hitmen to carry out the killing.
The investigation later took a turn, with police arresting Shalu’s husband Subrat for his father’s murder. Police say that Subrat tried to frame Shalu by getting the hitmen involved in the murder to name her when they were arrested by the police. A court ordered Shalu’s release on a personal bond of Rs 50,000, observing that it had found no independent, credible evidence linking her to the alleged conspiracy.
Sahlu said she and her husband, Subrat Minocha, had spent time together at a party on the day of Vineet Minocha’s murder and she had noticed nothing unusual. Vineet was found with his throat slit inside his flat in Kanpur’s Indira Nagar area on September 5. Subrat was very secretive. He and his father did not get along, but I never thought things could reach a point where something like this would happen, she said.
Asked whether she could forgive Subrat or continue their relationship, she said she was unable to think about it yet. “I need some time to come to terms with everything that has happened,” she said. Her immediate concern, she added, was her six-year-old child. “I want him to know nothing about all this. I just want to go to him and be with him.”
