Rajendra Gupta’s wife and children (file photo)
Businessman Rajendra Gupta never hesitated to sacrifice his own family members to expand the illegal liquor business in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. Rather, his illegal business is stained with the blood of his own family. His wife protested against this business 28 years ago. At that time there was a big fight and the wife left him. After this, Rajendra Gupta’s father and brother started protesting. In such a situation, Rajendra Gupta murdered him. When his father’s gunner and his brother’s wife came to save him, Rajendra Gupta also shot them.
After this incident, Varanasi police arrested Rajendra Gupta and sent him to jail. After going to jail, his business collapsed. Rajendra Gupta’s mother was an eyewitness to this incident. However, he was unable to testify in court. In such a situation, due to lack of evidence, Gupta was granted bail and a few days later he was released from jail. After this, he resumed his liquor business. During this time he also married for the second time. Then his business began to double during the day and quadruple at night.
He built four properties each in the city of Banaras itself. There are 20 to 30 rooms in these two houses. The two remaining houses have between 50 and 60 rooms. His family lived in one of these rooms, while he rented the remaining three houses. This earned Rs 3-4 lakh every month. Apart from this, it has also been revealed that Rajendra Gupta is also having an affair with another woman. According to the police, Rajendra Gupta wanted to marry this woman, but his wife did not allow it.
Due to this, Rajendra Gupta left his family and lived alone for a year. According to police sources, despite earning so much from the property, Rajendra Gupta’s illicit liquor business was not going well. His assets had been confiscated several times. In such a situation, Gupta had recently consulted a tantrik in Banaras. In this the tantrik had told him that his wife was the obstacle in his business. It is said that on Tantrik’s advice, Rajendra Gupta returned to his family on Diwali day as per plan. He celebrated Diwali a lot and on Tuesday afternoon, seeing the opportunity, he killed his wife, sons and daughter.
