Udaipur:Inspired by the Bollywood thriller 'Drishyam', a Rajasthan man allegedly killed an elderly woman, burnt her body and dumped the remains in a lake, hoping that he would get away scot-free if police did not find the body.
The accused, Ramesh Lohar, is a class 5 dropout who loved watching thrillers and true crime shows like Crime Patrol. He told police that he decided to kill the woman, Chandi Bai (70), as he wanted to steal her jewellery, Udaipur Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Manish Kumar said.
Chandi Bai, who belonged from the Dholi caste, was playing drums at an event on January 9 when the accused saw her. She was wearing heavy silver and gold jewellery, the ASP said.
On February 22, Ramesh lured Chandi Bai into his van by offering her Rs 1,100 to perform at a function. He then drove around for hours and switched off his mobile phone to mislead the authorities. At night, the accused took her to an isolated location and hit her multiple times on the head with a screwdriver, Kumar said.
