Some villagers who came to help Rupesh observed blood stains near the car and realised that something was burning nearby with foul smell emanating. They immediately called Shamshabad police and kept a watch on Rupesh.

According to Shamshabad DCP Sunpreet Singh who presented Rupesh before media on Tuesday, Rupesh married Cynthia in 2008. They met in Congo where Cynthia was a club dancer at Malibu restaurant.

It was love at first sight for Rupesh and Cynthia showed interest in the relationship. After few years of stay in Congo they moved to India in 2012. Sania was born immediately after marriage. However their relationship turned sour with Cynthia developing intimacy with one Kinuani Kamitabu whom she met on social media.

Soon they decided to get married and Cynthia told Rupesh that she would like to call it a day.

The police have booked a case of murder against Rupesh, and handed over Sania to Rupesh Kumar’s parents.
