Hooch-den operator Virendra Kanauj killed an 18 year old named Parveen. It was not because she protested against gambling. Instead it was because he liked the girl, and she didn�t reciprocate those feelings.
Virendra was picked up by police today for yesterday�s daylight murder at Sawadatganj. He claims he was waiting near Parveen�s house with his friends when she was returning home with her mother, Suraiya. The man said he first pushed Parveen and, as she lay on the road, picked up a stone slab, and hit her on the head.
During interrogation, Virendra claimed that he had a four year affair with the young girl, who promised to marry him. He even bared his arms to show the name �Parveen� was tattooed on them. He used to assist her financially, too. Last week, she said her marriage was fixed with someone else. A devastated Virendra cried, and then began to drink.
No one came to Parveen�s rescue as she was dying. The killers also attacked her mother Suraiya, who had to be hospitalized. After the murderers fled, public anger erupted. A mob set ablaze gambling cells, attacked passing vehicles, as well as set houses on fire. Two of Virendra�s associates, who were named in the FIR, were also arrested.
Parveen was a student, and Virendra, a hooch den operator. Lucknow senior superintendent of police Ashutosh Pandey said he believes the case to be a case of unrequited love. However further investigation is going on.
