Seven years after software engineer Rajesh Gulati smothered his 36-year-old wife and then used an electric saw to chop her body into 70 pieces, stashing the parts in a deep freezer for two months, a local court has held him guilty of murder, bringing closure to a case that was counted among the most heinous killings in Uttarakhand.
Soon after additional district judge Vinod Kumar held him guilty under section 302 (murder) and 201 (causing disappearance of evidence) of the IPC, Rajesh, with his face betraying little emotion, was escorted out of the court by policemen. The quantum of sentence will be announced on Friday.
The brutal murder which sent shockwaves in Dehradun dates back to 2010. After an argument on the night of October 17, Rajesh, then 37, killed his wife Anupama in their two-room rented house at Prakash Nagar in Dehradun Cantonment. As the trial continued, many gruesome details of the case emerged.
