Hapur Police have uncovered a chilling case where a Meerut man allegedly murdered his parents and wife, staging their deaths as accidents to claim massive insurance amounts.
According to police, Vishal Kumar, son of photographer Mukesh Singhal, killed his mother in 2017 and claimed ₹22 lakh insurance. In 2020, his wife died under suspicious circumstances, and he claimed ₹80 lakh. Last year, his father allegedly died in a staged road accident near Garh Ganga, leading Vishal to claim ₹39 crore from multiple insurance companies. While one firm had already released ₹1.5 crore, Niva BUPA flagged irregularities during verification.
Investigations revealed Vishal had taken over 50 insurance policies from companies including Niva BUPA, Tata AIG, Max Life, Tata AIA, Aditya Birla and HDFC Ergo. Despite declaring an annual income of only ₹12–15 lakh, his claims exceeded ₹39 crore.
Discrepancies between Mukesh’s hospital records and post-mortem report raised suspicions, while witnesses admitted being paid to support Vishal’s accident story. The alleged vehicle involved in the crash was never produced. Authorities also found inconsistencies in Aadhar and PAN details.
Police arrested Vishal on Sunday. During interrogation, he confessed to murdering his parents. The death of his wife is also under fresh investigation. Officials further alleged he attempted to bribe an insurance officer to push through a claim.
The case remains under active investigation, with police verifying several other suspicious claims linked to him.
