Fed up of her drug addict son who was also sexually abusive, a mother in Bhayander West paid contract killers Rs 50,000 to murder him; now, he's dead, but she's in jail. The Vasai police on Sunday arrested the woman and three others for the murder that was committed on August 20.

Ramcharan Dwivedi was a drug addict

According to police sources, the victim, identified as Ramcharan Ramdas Dwivedi, 21, was addicted to drugs and sex. He'd raped dozens of women, including his own mother and stepmother. Unable to bear his actions any longer, his mother hatched a plan with her elder son Sitaram to kill Ramcharan.

Tempo to death
She gave Rs 50,000 for the murder to two of her friends, identified as Keshav Mistry and Rakesh Yadav. On August 20, under a false pretext, Sitaram, Keshav and Rakesh took Ramcharan in a tempo from Bhayandar and brought him to a mine in the Jankipada area of Vasai around 2 pm. They lowered him from the tempo, slashed his throat and escaped from the spot after throwing his dead body in the mine, the official added.
