Amit Kashyap Murder Case: How Tile Worker Amardeep and Wife Ravita Planned the Fatal Snake Plot

In the high-profile and chilling 'snake murder case' of Meerut, a local court has delivered a landmark verdict by sentencing the victim's wife, Ravita, and her lover, Amardeep, to death. The duo had conspired to strangle Amit Kashyap to death and planted a snake near his body to make the murder look like a natural snakebite. However, post-mortem findings exposed the brutal truth. The untold story of this chilling crime has now been unraveled through statements from Amit's coworkers and family members.

The Genesis of the Affair and Rising Tensions

Sandeep, a coworker who worked alongside Amit laying tiles and stones, shared crucial details about the lead-up to the tragedy. According to Sandeep, both Amit and Amardeep worked in the same profession, which is how Amardeep began visiting Amit's home. Eventually, an illicit affair developed between Ravita and Amardeep. When Amit discovered the relationship, it led to frequent altercations and physical fights between the two men.

Sandeep recalled an incident where Amardeep was called near Amit's house and a heated argument took place. Although locals had an inkling of the tension, no one anticipated it would culminate in murder. Family and coworkers describe Amit as a warm and amiable person who was betrayed by those closest to him.

The Cunning Snakebite Cover-Up and Post-Mortem Revelation

Recounting the night of the incident, family members and Sandeep noted that when they arrived, Amit's body was surrounded by bedding, and a snake was spotted near his waist. Initially, the family believed it was a tragic snakebite. However, anomalies in the crime scene raised immediate suspicion among relatives.

According to Sandeep and family members, Ravita and her brother vehemently opposed getting a post-mortem examination done, desperately trying to sweep the crime under the rug. Eventually, police intervention ensured the autopsy was conducted, which conclusively proved that Amit died of asphyxia due to strangulation rather than a snakebite. Prosecution lawyers successfully argued for the maximum penalty in this rarest of rare cases, leading to the death sentence.
