00:00It was the night of February 16, 2025, when Anok Mittal, a wealthy businessman from Ludhiana,

00:06decided to take his wife Lipsy to a remote resort for dinner, located 25 km away from their home.

00:13Little did anyone know that this seemingly ordinary evening would soon spiral into a nightmare

00:18that would grip the entire city.

00:20It was around 10.15 pm at that time. The couple enjoyed their evening,

00:24dancing together and then having dinner, blissfully unaware of the terror awaiting them.

00:29Afterwards, around midnight, they both got into their car and set off for home.

00:34A few kilometers from the resort, Anok Mittal suddenly stopped the car, citing the need to use the washroom.

00:40After a brief moment, he drove off again.

00:42However, just minutes later, the car stopped once again but this time with the parking lights on,

00:48things took a sinister turn.

00:50In the blink of an eye, 4-5 individuals arrived and viciously attacked both Lipsy and Anok with sharp-edged weapons.

00:57Lipsy's jewelry was stolen but the horror didn't end there.

01:01Their silence repeatedly stabbed her, ultimately throwing her out of the car.

01:05Meanwhile, in the process and the attempt of defending himself, Anok also sustained a couple of knife wounds.

01:11The attackers were ruthless. They allegedly took the couple's car and fled the scene.

01:16Police investigation revealed that the incident took place around 12.30 pm

01:20while Anok Mittal informed the police 45 minutes later at around 1.10 pm.

01:26Anok Mittal was not just a businessman but also a prominent Aam Aadmi Party leader.

01:32Overnight, he found himself at the center of a public storm

01:36and by the morning, the news of Lipsy's brutal assault and robbery spread like wildfire across Ludhiana.

01:42Anok's supporters gathered in large numbers to protest.

01:45Anok's supporters gathered in large numbers to protest.

01:48Anok's supporters gathered in large numbers to protest.

01:52Anok's supporters gathered in large numbers demanding justice for the heinous crime.

01:57But as the media swarmed and the scrutiny intensified, a critical question began to arise.

02:03How did Anok survive while Lipsy was brutally attacked and left to die?

02:07According to the police, on digging deeper, troubling inconsistencies in Anok's story began to surface.

02:13Anok alleged that the attackers had drugged him before the assault.

02:17However, when the doctors examined him, there were no signs of any intoxication, the police said.

02:22The police also delved into Anok's call history and this is what they uncovered.

02:27Right after the attack, he had allegedly sent a single cryptic message to his girlfriend, the word done.

02:33Further investigation revealed that Anok had been planning to marry his girlfriend

02:38and had been desperately trying to divorce Lipsy while Lipsy refused to give him a divorce.

02:48The most shocking revelation came when the police allegedly caught one of the robbers involved in the attack, the police said.

02:57The accused made an alarming claim.

03:00Lipsy's brutal murder had been allegedly orchestrated by the one person she trusted the most, her own husband.

03:07According to the police, Anok Mittal has also agreed to pay Rs 2.5 lakh to the contract killers for the murder.

03:18However, the police now faced a dilemma.

03:21Anok was still sitting at the protest surrounded by supporters, people who sympathized with him.

03:27Arresting him outright could trigger a major uproar.

03:30Now following this challenge, the police carefully devised a plan to take Anok for a medical checkup.

03:35Little did Anok know that he was being taken straight to the police station.

03:39There, with all the evidence against him, Anok allegedly confessed to his crime.

03:47Anok Mittal's husband was the one who created the drama.

03:56He was the one who called people from outside and got Anok murdered.
