‘Poisonous suspense’ of sweet kheer: When daughters saw father unconscious
This horrifying story is from Renuka Dham Colony of Dehtora area of Agra. Ruby Sharma was married to Surendra Sharma (44) 16 years ago. Inside this family that looked happy from outside, a terrible orgy of domestic violence and alcohol addiction was going on. Surendra was unemployed and used to beat Ruby mercilessly every day for money for liquor. On the night of 18th May, Ruby decided to end this torture forever. She made delicious kheer at home, but behind that sweet taste was hidden the stuff of death. Ruby mixed a large quantity of sleeping pills in that pudding. As soon as Surendra ate the kheer, he fell unconscious on the floor. When his two innocent daughters saw their father in this condition, they did not find anything strange; She was used to seeing her father lying unconscious for hours under the influence of alcohol. Little did the daughters know that their father would never wake up again.
‘Bathroom Graveyard’: That lonely bloody mission of the next morning
What Ruby did after putting her husband to death is impossible for any common woman to even imagine. The next morning he left his two daughters at his brother-in-law’s house in a very vicious manner. After returning home, she was alone, and her husband’s dead body was in front of her. He closed the bathroom door of the house and dug the floor to create a deep pit. After pushing Surendra’s body into the pit, he completely sealed it with concrete plaster procured from the market. His obsession with erasing evidence was so much that he installed new shining tiles matching exactly on top of the concrete, so that no one would have the slightest suspicion that the floor was broken. After this she reached the police station and herself lodged a missing report regarding her husband’s disappearance.

That secret mystery of ATM card: One mistake and the fort of lies shattered
The police kept searching for Surendra for weeks, but the matter became complicated when Surendra’s brother Anil Sharma noticed a very strange thing. Even after Surendra’s disappearance, cash was being continuously withdrawn from his family’s pension account through ATM. Since the ATM card was with Surendra, Anil became suspicious that if his brother was missing then who was withdrawing the money? Anil immediately informed this to Sikandra police. When the police compared the bank statements and the family’s statements, they found huge contradictions in Ruby’s statements. As soon as they came under suspicion, the police team went straight to the bathroom of Ruby’s house. When the police broke up the newly laid tiled floor with a spade, a weeks-old decomposed skeleton came out. ACP Hariparvat Ameesha has confirmed that the body has been sent for post-mortem and accused Ruby is in custody.
Fighting, alcohol addiction and domestic dispute became the reason?
Investigation has revealed that Surendra Sharma was unemployed for a long time and was allegedly addicted to alcohol. Police say that he often asked his wife for money for liquor and when she refused, he used to beat her. Neighbors have also confirmed frequent fights between the couple. He has two daughters from this marriage of about 16 years. The family’s main source of income was Surendra’s late father’s pension, which he shared with his brother.

The daughters did not get suspicious because this scene was ‘normal’
According to the police, when Surendra was lying unconscious allegedly due to the effect of sleeping pills, even his daughters did not consider it unusual. Investigators say they were accustomed to seeing him sleeping for hours after drinking alcohol. For this reason no one immediately suspected. It is alleged that the next day Ruby dropped her daughters at a relative’s house and returned and buried the body by digging a pit in the bathroom. After this, the place was filled with concrete and new tiles were installed so that no one could get suspicious.
Police have deep suspicion: Is there a third face behind this ‘bloody game’?
During interrogation, Ruby has confessed to her crime, but top police officers are not able to fully believe this theory. Adding to the suspense in the case, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Syed Ali Abbas said, “It seems almost impossible for a woman to single-handedly murder a person so brutally, then prepare a heavy concrete mixer and bury the body inside the house and lay tiles on it.” The police suspect that a ‘third’ helper was also involved along with Ruby in carrying out this dreadful conspiracy or in doing the concrete work. At present, the police is searching for that hidden co-accused through call details and forensic evidence. This ‘Bathroom Murder Case’ of Agra has now become a topic of discussion in the entire area.
