Faridabad psycho killer gets life sentence, strangled six girls, used this method to carry out crimes

Faridabad (The Uttam Hindu): In a shocking serial killing case that terrorised Faridabad, the court has delivered a major verdict. The notorious accused Singh Raj, found guilty of murdering six girls, including three minors, has been sentenced to life imprisonment. The court has also imposed a fine of ₹1 lakh on him. In its judgment, the court said that technical evidence, call detail records, and a consistent crime pattern clearly proved that the accused was extremely dangerous to society.

Same pattern in every crime

Investigations revealed that Singh Raj followed almost the same method in every case. He would first build familiarity with the victims’ families and gradually start visiting their homes. When he got the opportunity, he molested the girls and strangled them to death if they resisted. After committing the murders, he packed the bodies in sacks and carried them on a bicycle to dump them in bushes near the Agra Canal. All the victims belonged to poor families, and most of them were minors.

Who is Singh Raj

Singh Raj is a resident of Jasana village in Faridabad and was working as a security guard at a private hospital in Sector-16. He had no contact with his family, and even his relatives had distanced themselves from him. This was not the first time he was accused of murder. In 1987, he was arrested for killing his uncle and cousin but was acquitted due to lack of evidence. According to investigating agencies, his violent behaviour had existed for a long time.

Three-year trial, 26 witnesses

The trial continued for nearly three years. The court of Additional Sessions Judge Purushottam Kumar convicted the accused under IPC sections 302 (murder) and 364 (kidnapping) and awarded life imprisonment. Since one of the victims belonged to the Scheduled Caste community, Singh Raj was also sentenced to life imprisonment under the SC/ST Act. Testimonies of 26 witnesses were recorded during the trial. Although there was no direct evidence, technical proof and similarity in the crimes played a decisive role. The court observed that the identical pattern in all incidents clearly established the accused’s involvement.
