Forensic Science Student Uses Skills to Stage UPSC Aspirant’s Murder as Accident, Caught

The Delhi Police has just solved a murder case of Ramkesh Meena, the 32-year old UPSC aspirant whose charred body was found earlier this month in a gutted down apartment in Gandhi Vihar, North Delhi. First, it was assumed that the incident was a fire outbreak, but the investigations found out that it was a planned murder case disguised as an accident by the perpetrators.

Amrita Chauhan, a 21 year old forensic science student, the live-in partner of Ramkesh Meena, and her ex-boyfriend Sumit Kashyap, both residents of Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh were also arrested in relation to the crime. Police claim that Amrita Chauhan killed Ramkesh with the assistance of Sumit Kashyap and Sandeep Kumar. The three supposedly burned the body, sprinkled ghee and wine on the body and turned on a gas cylinder to create the illusion of an accidental fire.

The motive behind the crime reportedly involved private videos that Ramkesh possessed, which Amrita wanted to use for revenge. The murderers also took advantage of the fact that Amrita was a student of forensic science and set up the crime scene in such a way that it felt like an accident, in order to attempt to evade the investigation and escape being caught.

This case shows a bleak picture in which academic knowledge or specific skill sets as is the case with forensic science does not ensure moral uprightness or  immunity from involvement in criminal activities. The investigative skills of Delhi Police helped them to get through the various layers of the crime and finally get the culprits to justice.

All-in-all, this Ramkesh Meena murder case is a stark reminder that success in academics or professional skills alone cannot shield one from life’s realities and help them run away with their ill motives. True expertise lies in combining knowledge with integrity, empathy, and strong moral values. Students preparing for their futures must focus not just on excellence in their chosen streams but also on developing sound character and emotional resilience for a responsible and impactful life.
