UK IT Boss Extradited for India Murder Plot

0:00On April 20th, a UK-based IT boss named Ajithma Parapu faces extradition to India after allegedly plotting to kill his estranged wife, a doctor, and her family. The 46-year-old from Berkshire targeted his father-in-law over a land dispute following their five-year marriage breakdown. Kordok say he made several clumsy hits, including poisoning that killed his mother-in-law. He first tried staging a road crash on his father-in-law early in 2023, then hunted dark web hitmen, but those flopped. Next, he roped in his chemistry teacher's sister to snag arsenic, mixed it into spices like chili and salt, and shipped it via courier for about 15 pounds. The family got sick right before a wedding in June 2023, blaming bad water at first. His wife, her dad Hanumantharow, and mom Uma Maheshwari all fell hard. Uma died in hospital the next month. He also abused his wife physically, spied with hidden cameras, and torched the old man's land.

1:00Later that year, Uma Parapu planned to inject Rao with a muscle-relaxen called succinial coline, but cops nabbed the crew first. Ten folks linked to the plot's already face charges in India. Right now, at London's Westminster magistrates court, his team fights extradition, warning of torture risks back home. The hearing wraps up this week, so we'll see if he ships out or stays put.
