In a disturbing incident in Hathras district, Uttar Pradesh, a dismissed police constable, Ramveer Singh, was arrested for allegedly burning a homeless beggar alive to fake his own death. The incident occurred on March 12, when a charred body was discovered under a tin shed at Hathras Road Railway Halt station. Investigators found a half-burnt mobile phone and a debit card at the scene, which led them to Singh after tracking the active SIM card. Singh, 55, from Baghauni village in Mainpuri district, had been dismissed from the Uttar Pradesh Police in 2013 due to alleged criminal activities and was facing multiple charges at the time of the incident. He targeted the beggar, believing no one would report him missing, and attempted to mislead authorities by leaving his belongings at the scene. During interrogation, Singh confessed and revealed he had sustained burn injuries, which led to his admission at Saifai Medical College under his real identity. He was arrested on April 14, and the identity of the deceased remains unknown. The case has raised significant concern in the community, and further investigations are ongoing.
