Call girl gang kills businessman, say police

New Delhi: The Delhi Police on Thursday claimed businessman Ramnath Singla (51), whose body was found in car in East Delhi's Pandav Nagar on Tuesday, was killed by a gang that provided call girls as escorts in the city.
Police sources said the gang has about 100 call girls and have put up their contact details on several websites.
The police claimed the gang caters mostly to rich businessmen and industrialists in the NCR, who they often rob under sedation, knowing they were unlikely to lodge a complaint.
The police claimed gang leader Sheetal (25) called Singla to her house in Shakarpur and served him liquor. Once the businessman was the drunk, she took his cash and smothered him to death with the help of her husband Ravi (26) and brother-in-law Ajay Kumar (36), they claimed. Officials said Singla first met Sheetal three years back and used to visit her often.
A team led by SI Vinay Yadav arrested the trio from East Delhi after tracing a PCO call made to Singla's number hours before his murder. On Sunday, Singla went to Shakarpur while returning from Chandigarh, and asked his driver to go back. Police claimed Singla was killed because he sensed their intentions. Singla's body was found in his Swift car two days after the murder. He had jewellery and Rs 2 lakh in cash with him that day.
The police claimed the gang used to make friends with rich people and provide them girls. "They would analyse the worth of a person and rob them whenever they saw them with cash and jewellery," said the source.
They had recently stolen the Honda Civic of a doctor after sedating him,
said the police, adding that the matter was, however, never reported. The sources said the three disclosed name of several persons they had robbed, but there had never been police complaints in these cases.
Sheetal, originally from Nepal, had come to Delhi some six years back.
"She started with a 'phone friend' business, but shifted to the Internet after the police cracked down on friendship clubs. They used to charge between Rs 10,000 and Rs 50,000 from the persons contacting them and send girls to farmhouses and flats of customers," said a source.
