Psycho killer Poonam, who was sent to jail for killing four innocent children, used to kill girls on the day of Ekadashi. He killed six year old innocent Vidhi on December 1. That day was Mokshada Ekadashi. His actions had been strange for quite some time. Sometimes she would burn clothes and sometimes she would put vermilion on water and keep watching. She was also in touch with a Tantrik from Kairana. There were other children also on his target. She would first get close to a girl with love and affection and then take her life whenever she got the opportunity. This is what Jiya’s aunt Parul has to say.

Jiya was picked up at midnight and murdered.
Poonam’s maternal home is in Siwah village of Panipat. His cousin brother (Tau’s son) Deepak lives in the same village. Poonam is accused of killing Deepak’s ten-year-old daughter Jiya on August 19 this year. For this she stayed at Deepak’s house only. Slept near Jiya at night. After midnight, Jiya was picked up and taken to the animal enclosure.

There she killed herself by immersing her in a pond of water and after coming back she slept quietly. Deepak and family had expressed suspicion on Poonam but she flatly refused and started crying loudly. Poonam’s mother threatened to take legal action if anything happened to her daughter due to the false accusation. People got scared by this threat and did not lodge a report.

… other children were also his target
Parul told that there were many reasons to doubt Poonam. She used to do strange things. Jiya’s body was found lying in the pond on the day of Ekadashi. Parul was asked that Poonam is accused of murdering son Shubham and niece Ishika (sister-in-law’s daughter) on January 13, 2023, but that day was not Ekadashi.

On this Parul said that maybe due to some reason she might not have been able to commit murder on Ekadashi. Other children were also his targets. She used to target some girl first. After this she used to express her love and caress to him. Parul says that Poonam was trying to kill her son also but could not succeed. Only after this he targeted Jiya.
