Tantrik Drugged Victims with Laddus

A Delhi murder case that first looked confusing — three bodies inside a parked car near Peeragarhi flyover — now looks brutally simple. Police say a self-styled tantrik named Kamruddin promised a ritual that would multiply money, fed the victims drugged laddus, waited for them to collapse, and then robbed them. This week, Delhi Police filed a 527-page chargesheet laying out that version in detail and naming him as the only accused. (hindustantimes.com) ### Who were the victims? Police say the three people killed in the February 2026 case were Randhir Singh, 76, Shiv Naresh Singh, 47, and Laxmi Devi, 40. Their bodies were found inside a car near the Peeragarhi flyover in Outer Delhi, which is why the case initially drew confusion about whether this was suicide, an accident, or murder. The chargesheet now treats it as a planned triple killing tied to a fake occult-money scheme. (indianexpress.com) ### What was the trick? The pitch was “dhanvarsha” — basically, a ritual sold as a way to make cash multiply or bring sudden wealth. Police say Kamruddin used that promise to win trust, get victims to bring money, and keep them compliant through the ritual setup. In this case, investigators say he fled with about ₹2 lakh after poisoning the three victims. (hindustantimes.com) ### Why laddus? Because sweets lower suspicion. Investigators say Kamruddin prepared laddus mixed with intoxicants or poison and gave them to victims as part of the ritual. That detail matters because it turns the case from a vague “occult fraud” story into a repeatable method — a ritual setting, an edible offering, unconscious victims, then theft. Police also say he told them he had learned this modus operandi from his guru. (hindustantimes.com) ### How did police tie it to him? The earlier reporting around the arrest said investigators leaned on CCTV footage, call-record analysis, and movement tracing after the bodies were discovered. The chargesheet is the formal version of that work — the docum(hindustantimes.com)h to prosecute in full. (indianexpress.com) ### Is this bigger than one case? Yes — and that is the part that makes the story darker. Delhi Police say Kamruddin has been charged with the murder of six people in the name of dhanvarsha, not just the three in the Delhi car case. Investigators say the same basic method appears in other cases in Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, with some reports saying he had already been arrested before and later got bail for lack of evidence. (indianexpress.com) ### Why does the “guru” detail matter? Because it suggests this was not an improvised scam. If police are right, the method was taught, refined, and reused. That makes the case feel less like one manipulative fraudster going rogue and more like a criminal script hiding inside(indianexpress.com)itual rather than a robbery. (hindustantimes.com) ### What happens next? The chargesheet moves the case into the courtroom phase. Prosecutors will now try to prove that Kamruddin planned the killings, administered the drugged sweets, and stole the victims’ money. His guilt is still for the court to decide, but the police case has clearly shifted from suspicion to a broad murder-and-fraud narrative spanning multiple states. (hindustantimes.com) ### Bottom line What changed this week is not the horror of the case but the clarity. Police are now saying, in a formal court filing, that the Peeragarhi deaths were part of a practiced money ritual scam built around trust, sweets, sedation, and theft — and possibly part of a much longer chain.
