In 2015, Gopal Sejani, then an 11-year-old boy, lived in a small town called Keshod in the northwestern Indian state of Gujarat.
He had no parents early on, and he was dependent on his only sister and brother-in-law, and the family had a very tight income and a very hard life.
For this little boy living in a remote rural area of India, he understands that the world is big, but he never thought he could go out.
London? Such a metropolis is even more dare not think.
But fate is so miraculous, when a couple from London, England, happened to come to Gujarat and expressed their desire to adopt a local orphan and bring it back to London.
(Keshod, Gujarat)
Arti Dhir, 55, and Kaval Raijada, 30, both live in London.
In the eyes of outsiders, Arti is already older, and it is indeed a better choice to adopt than to have a child herself.

In 2015, the couple traveled thousands of miles to the small town of Keshod in the Indian state of Gujarat.
"We want to adopt an orphan and we will bring him or her back to London, England to live!"
The couple published the news in a local newspaper.
Soon, the news spread locally.
A well-meaning person told the little boy Gopal's sister, who hurriedly contacted the couple.
In this way, the couple met the little boy.
"We'll take him to London, England, where he can get a better education and a better life, and we'll definitely treat him like a biological child!"
In the face of the couple's various assurances and commitments, the sister thought about it and agreed to it.
After all, my brother's future here is uncertain, but if he goes to a big city like London, he will definitely live a better life than he has now.
(London)
Although there are also some reluctance sisters and brothers-in-law,
But the little boy Gopal is looking forward to going to London, and is also looking forward to a new life with a new father and a new mother.
However, this matter did not develop in the direction of happiness,
Because from the very beginning, the couple, Arti and Kaval, never really wanted to adopt this poor little boy.
It's all just about taking money out of him.
While confirming the adoption of the young boy Gopal, Arti Dhir spent £15,000 on two life insurance plans for him.
In the eyes of the sister of the little boy Gopal, the couple was willing to invest so much money for their brother! It also strengthened her willingness to send her brother to London;
And the couple's hearts have made a small calculation early, not so much to insure the little boy, but rather to say that they have long planned how to make money on this little boy.
The content of these two insurances is actually very simple:
In the unlikely event of the accidental death of the little boy Gopal, the insured and adoptive parents will receive 10 times the compensation, which is 150,000 pounds (about 1.36 million yuan).
From the moment they insured the little boy, the couple was actually planning how to kill him and then successfully get the compensation...

After consulting with the little boy Gopal, the couple was not in a hurry to bring Gopal back to London.
"We have to go back first, and after all the documents and visas that need to be prepared are ready, we will pick him up and take him back to London."
That's what they said at the time.
The sister and brother-in-law, who did not know much about the relevant procedures, were not suspicious.
You'll be able to go to London soon!!
The little boy Gopal is almost every day dreaming of going to the big city to live,
But he never got another chance to see london.
On February 8, 2017, Gopal and his brother-in-law, who were riding a motorcycle on a country road preparing to go home, were suddenly kidnapped and stabbed by two strange men.
The little boy Gopal, who had little resistance, was stabbed several times, and his brother-in-law was seriously injured to protect him.
The two were rushed to the hospital....
Even if he is stabbed in the rescue, the little boy Gopal still has a belief in his heart to support himself.
I'm going to live and wait for my new mom and dad to pick me up in London!"
But because of his injuries, he eventually left the world that he had not yet had time to explore properly....
The brother-in-law was also unable to rescue him due to his serious injuries...
At first, people thought it was just an ordinary street injury incident, after all, this kind of thing has happened before in such remote villages and towns.
But when the police stepped in to investigate, things got complicated.
The local police caught a murderer at the time of the incident, and the man A did not want to say anything at first.
But under the harsh interrogation of the police, Man A finally spoke and said a clue that no one expected:
"I... He was friends with Arti and Kaval and was close to them while studying in the UK. ”
Arti and Kaval?! Aren't they the adoptive parents of little boy Gopal?
(Arti and Kaval, and one of the killers, Man A (pictured in the middle, Man A))
The police quickly began to sort out what had happened before, and soon they understood the whole story.
Everything the couple had done before was for a reason.
Why did the couple fly from London to the tiny town of Keshod in Gujarat to adopt a child?
Because there are friends you know when you study abroad, it is more convenient for officials to communicate;
Why did you choose this little boy who has no money in the family?
No money and no power, sister and brother-in-law are also ordinary can no longer be ordinary, even if killed, there will be no danger;
Why don't you take your child back to London immediately after adoption?
There were no plans to take the kids back to London at all.
Why spend so much money on insurance for a little boy?
This answer is even more obvious...
The case has a clear outcome:
The so-called adoptive parents, Arti and Kaval, were behind the deaths of the little boy and brother-in-law.
(Arti and Kaval)
"Didn't they buy two high-value insurance for the little boy after completing the adoption of the little boy Gopal?
From that time on they began to make plans to kill the boys, they found friends they knew when they studied abroad to participate in the plan, and they hired killers.
When it's done, they'll pay the killer Rs 500,000 (about £6,000) and the rest of the money will be distributed according to the ratio of each person's insured amount.
They also tried to kill the boy as soon as possible, but they couldn't find the right time and place. ”
The head of the Gujarat Police Department explained.
"Long before they came to India in 2015, the three men had met in London to start plotting adoption and murder."
The confession of Man A makes the evidence conclusive, and at the request of the Indian government, Arti and Kaval were arrested in the UK in June 2017.
("Adoptive Mother" Arti)
The Indians indicted the couple on multiple charges, including double murder, and were also ready to bring the couple back to India for sentencing.
There is no doubt that the killing of people is punished accordingly, and both the Indian and British sides fully agree with this.
But until now, the couple has not received the punishment they deserve...
The reason is that,
After the two were arrested in britain, the Indian side immediately proposed to bring the two back to India for punishment.
According to the crimes committed by the couple, they face life imprisonment in India without commutation or parole.
It was this that made the British side reject this request,
In early July 2019, a judge at the District Court of Westminster, who was in charge of the case, refused to hand over the couple.
"Once they are taken to India, the couple will face a life sentence without parole, either way for the rest of their lives in prison. This is inhumane and degrading.
According to the relevant European law, we cannot accede to this request."
(Westminster Magistrates Court)
In this way, so far the two sides have not reached an agreement on this issue.
The Indian side is ready to appeal again.
"We will do our best, this is a very serious crime that has happened in our India.
We hope that the two accused can be brought before the Indian courts for trial in accordance with Indian law, and we are doing our part to assist the courts on the British side. ”
The Indian police officer in charge of the matter said this in an interview with the media.
What the result is, it may take until the appeal again to find out,
But in any case, we hope that the bad guys will be punished as they deserve,
It can also allow the dead little boy Gopal and his brother-in-law's spirit in heaven to get a real rest....
