If an offender has committed murder, he
must die. In this case, no possible substitute can satisfy justice.
For there is no parallel between death and even the most miserable
life, so that there is no equality of crime and retribution unless the
perpetrator is judicially put to death. – Immanuel Kant

A local court in Telangana’s Warangal district on Wednesday sentenced a 25-year
old migrant worker from Bihar to death for allegedly murdering nine other
migrant labourers in May this year in a bid to cover up another murder he had
committed earlier.
Warangal first additional district court judge Jaya Kumar delivered his
judgement, awarding a death sentence to accused Sanjay Kumar Yadav for the
gruesome killings, including six members of a family on May 20.
The Warangal police booked Yadav under seven sections of the Indian Penal Code
and filed the charge sheet within 25 days of the FIR being registered. Yadav
confessed to the crime during the trial. In all, the court cross-examined 98
people, including 68 witnesses, before pronouncing the judgement.

The mass murders that took place at Gorrekunta village of Geesugonda block on
the outskirts of Warangal town created a sensation in Telangana. On May 20, the
police recovered nine bodies from an abandoned well.
Warangal city police commissioner V Ravinder said the deceased were identified
as Md Maqsood (55), his wife Nisha (48), sons Shahabad Alam (21) and Sohail
Alam (18), daughter Bushra (20) and her three-year-old son Shoaib (all from the
same family from West Bengal), Sriram (21) and Shyam (22) from Bihar, besides
Shakil (30) from Tripura.
All the elders were working in a gunny bag manufacturing unit at Geesugonda and
staying in the same company premises since the enforcement of lockdown in
March. The police initially thought they had died by mass suicide owing to
financial constraints or some other family reasons.
Investigations later revealed that all the nine people were murdered by Yadav,
also a migrant worker from Bihar, to cover up another murder he had committed
in March – that of Rafiqa (37), a divorcee sister-in-law of Maqsood, with whom
Yadav had an illicit affair.
The police said Yadav had killed Rafiqa on their way to West Bengal at
Nidubrolu in Andhra Pradesh’s West Godavari district on March 6 and quietly
returned to Warangal.
When other family members of Maqsood grew suspicious about Rafiqa being missing
even after two months, Yadav decided to eliminate them. He mixed sleeping pills
in their food and after they fell asleep, bundled them in gunny bags and dumped
them in an abandoned well, the police said.
The prosecution produced all the evidence before the court, including footage
from Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras showing Sanjay Kumar Yadav coming
to the victims’ house at 5.30 pm on May 19 and leaving the next morning at 6.30
am.

Death penalty for man who killed nine
people and dumped bodies in Telangana well
The police had said that Sanjay Kumar Yadav carried out nine murders to cover
up the killing of a woman related to a family.
Court Wednesday, October 28, 2020 - 16:44
Sanjay Kumar Yadav, accused of killing nine persons of a family and dumping
their bodies in a well at Telangana’s Warangal district, was awarded the death
sentence on Wednesday by the First Additional District Sessions Judge, Warangal,
K Jayakumar. The police had said that the man carried out nine murders to cover
up the killing of a woman related to the family.
The Warangal police arrested the 24-year-old on May 25, four days after the
nine bodies were recovered from the well. The police had filed a 475-page
chargesheet and lined up 67 witnesses to prove their case against the accused.
The court completed the trial within 36 days after receiving the chargesheet,
reported Telangana Today. The accused can however, approach the High Court to
challenge the death penalty.
The police had said that
Sanjay Kumar Yadav carried out nine murders to cover up the killing of a woman
related to a family.
It was the second month of the coronavirus lockdown and the peak of the migrant worker crisis on May 21, when four bodies of a migrant worker family from West Bengal were found in an agricultural well at Gorrekunta village in Geesugonda mandal of Warangal (Rural). At the time, police suspected that the family killed themselves over financial distress brought about by the lockdown.
The police sought assistance from a forensic team, deployed sniffer dogs and
began an investigation. On the second day, five more bodies emerged from the
well. The suspicion of mass murder was confirmed when scratch marks were found
on the bodies by the forensics team, indicating that the bodies were dragged to
the well. Six special teams were formed to crack the case.
On the first day, the police recovered the bodies of 48-year-old Maqsood, his
wife Nisha, their two-year-old daughter and a relative, Bushra Khatun. On the
second day, the police recovered the bodies of Maqsood's two sons, a friend of
the family and two other men who were employed at the gunny bag manufacturing
factory where the family worked and lived.
Investigations and CCTV footage led police to Sanjay who is said to have
confessed to killing nine people, six of whom were from a single-family.
Sanjay, a native of Bihar had been working at Warangal for the past six years
and was in a relationship with a 37-year-old Rafiqa, a niece of Nisha. On March
6, the couple was en route to West Bengal to meet Rafiqa's family for talks about
marriage. The police said that Sanjay gave her buttermilk laced with sleeping
pills, strangulated her and threw her out of the train.
He then returned back to Warangal and told Nisha's family that Rafiqa had gone
to a relative’s house in West Bengal. Nisha did not believe Sanjay's statement
on Rafiqa's whereabouts and threatened to file a police complaint about her
missing niece.
The police said that on May 20, Sanjay visited Maqsood's home to attend his
son's birthday celebrations and mixed sleeping pills in the food consumed by
six family members and three guests. Once the nine persons fell unconscious,
Sanjay dragged each of them into the agricultural well near the factory between
12.30 am and 5 am, according to investigation officials. He left with their
cell phones after confirming that all of them had drowned.
