A team of Metropolitan Police Crime Division nabbed Dilip Yadav, 35, from Siraha and brought him to Kathmandu for legal action today. Sushil and Sujal, sons of Samjhana Sardar from her previous marriage, were found dead in the rented room of Dilip at the squatters’ settlement in Sinamangal yesterday after the locals alerted the police when foul smell emanating from the room. The victims were primary level students in a local school. Earlier on Monday, the children’s maternal grandmother Bimala Sardar, who also resides in the same area, had lodged a ‘missing complaint’ at Metropolitan Police Circle, Baneshwor. The boys used to live with their grandmother. Dilip of Siraha and Samjhana of Saptari had been living together for the past seven months. SSP Dhiraj Pratap Singh, MPCD in-charge, said Dilip had confessed to strangulating his stepsons to death on April 22 before absconding. Dilip was not happy with Samjhana after she recently moved to Biratnagar and refused to return to Kathmandu anytime soon. “Dilip had repeatedly threatened Samjhana to kill her two sons if she did not return as soon as possible,” said police. After the kids’ bodies were found in his room, Dilip called Samjhana to claim responsibility for the murder. Dilip was a daily wage earner in Kathmandu.
