An Indian-born British couple adopted an orphaned child and killed him for money. According to Mail Online, Aarti Dheer, 55, and her husband Kewal Rajada, 30, are residents of West London. She moved to India in 2015 and adopted a child there. They were about to bring the child to London, but before the child's travel documents were ready, the child was attacked with knives by two motorcyclists. The boy's brother-in-law was also seriously injured in the attack in an attempt to save him, and both later succumbed to their injuries at the hospital.
Indian police say Aarti and Kewal abducted the child and had him killed. The reason was to get 1.5 million for a child's life insurance policy. Police say that Aarti and Kewal came to India in 2015 and advertised in the newspapers that they wanted to adopt a child whom they would take with them to London. Because of this advertisement, he met Gopal. Gopal was living with his elder sister and her husband. The sister and her husband thought that Gopal had gone to London and his future would be bright, so they read the advertisement and contacted Aarti and Kewal.
Aarti and Kewal got Gopal's life insurance as soon as they adopted him. Kewell paid two installments of 15 15,000 to the insurance company. The insurance money was to be received by both of them in two cases. The first 10 years later and the second in the case of Gopal's death. Indian police say Aarti and Kewal got Gopal's immediate insurance so they could get money to kill him, but that was the real purpose of their visit to India. The attackers on Gopal and his brother-in-law An accused has also been arrested who has said that he is a friend of Aarti and Kewal.
After killing the child and his brother-in-law, the two returned to the UK and claimed insurance money. Now the Indian government has repeatedly asked the British government on human rights grounds to extradite the accused to India, but each time the Indian government's request was rejected. The UK has now given India the right to appeal against the decision to reject the petitions.
