How Did Blind Faith Lead to Delhi’s Triple Murder?

The Delhi triple murder case has revealed disturbing details about how blind trust, financial stress, and manipulation can turn deadly. Three people were found dead inside a parked car near a flyover in Delhi’s Peeragarhi area. What first appeared to be a possible suicide later emerged as a carefully planned poisoning linked to a self-styled godman who promised sudden wealth.
Police investigations now show that the victims were lured with the idea of “Dhanvarsha” or surprise money through tantric rituals. The accused allegedly used poisoned sweets and alcohol to kill them and escape with cash.

What Happened in Peeragarhi

On Sunday afternoon, around 3:50 pm, passersby alerted police after seeing three people lying unconscious inside a white Tigor car parked near the Peeragarhi flyover. When officers reached the spot, all three occupants were already dead.
At first, the case raised confusion. There were no visible injuries or signs of struggle. Inside the car, police found liquor bottles, cold drink bottles, glasses, and a plastic container with traces of poison. This led investigators to initially consider suicide or accidental poisoning.
However, further inquiry quickly changed the direction of the case.

Victims Identified

The deceased were identified as:

  • Randhir, 76, the car owner, was found in the driver’s seat
  • Shiv Naresh, 47, a property dealer seated in the front
  • Laxmi, 40, seated in the back

Both men were residents of Baprola village and were acquainted with each other. Laxmi lived in Jahangirpuri and worked as a caregiver in West Delhi. Police later confirmed that she knew Naresh and had introduced the men to the accused Baba.

Poisoned Laddoos and Alcohol

During questioning, Kamruddin confessed to the crime. Police stated that he convinced the victims to perform a ritual for “Dhanvarsha” and asked them to bring ₹2 lakh in cash, along with liquor and cold drinks.
He prepared laddoos mixed with poison and gave them to the victims inside the car. He also encouraged them to consume alcohol and soft drinks. Once all three became unconscious, he took the cash and fled, leaving them to die.
This confession helped police clearly establish murder by poisoning in the Delhi triple murder case.

How the Crime Was Planned

As the investigation progressed, police arrested five people, including the main accused, Kamruddin, a resident of Firozabad in Uttar Pradesh. He ran a so-called tantric centre in Loni, Ghaziabad.
According to police, the victims met Kamruddin a day before the incident and again on the day they died. They stayed in constant contact with him. On the day of the crime, Kamruddin travelled with them in the same car from Loni to Delhi.
Later, he abandoned the vehicle near the Peeragarhi flyover after carrying out the act.

Why Poisoning Can Be Hard to Detect

Poisoning can be difficult to identify immediately, especially when there are no external injuries. Symptoms may mimic alcohol intoxication, low blood sugar, or sudden cardiac events.
In this case, the absence of visible trauma delayed suspicion. Toxicology reports and careful examination of stomach contents and recovered items were essential in confirming foul play.

A Pattern of Manipulation and Risk

Police revealed that Kamruddin is a habitual offender with a history of serious crimes. Investigators believe he targeted people who were financially vulnerable or emotionally distressed and gained their trust through false spiritual promises.
Health experts warn that blind belief in unverified rituals or miracle claims can place individuals at serious physical and psychological risk.

Conclusion

The Delhi triple murder case serves as a stark reminder that financial desperation and belief in instant solutions can have fatal consequences. Authorities urge the public to report self-styled godmen who demand money or promote dangerous rituals.

Experts also stress the importance of mental health awareness, financial counselling, and community support to prevent people from falling into such traps.

This case was not just a crime story but a public health warning. Trusting unverified practices, especially when money and substances are involved, can cost lives. Awareness, caution, and timely reporting remain the strongest safeguards.
