A man allegedly shot dead his wife, suspecting her of having an affair in Nuh district. The man and an accomplice who allegedly supplied firearm to him have been arrested, police said on Wednesday.

The man, Inayat, had approached police, claiming that masked men had molested and killed his wife on Tuesday night in Hajipur Gauheta village.

During interrogation, however, he allegedly confessed to killing his wife Sunnati (25), Nuh police spokesperson said.

Police arrested Shakir who allegedly provided a country-made pistol to Inayat after an encounter. Shakir received a bullet injury to his leg in retaliatory firing and was sent to a hospital for treatment.

“During investigation, the main accused of the murder turned out to be the woman’s husband Inayat. In his false story, he claimed that masked miscreants looted the couple and started molesting his wife Sunnati and when she protested, they shot her dead,” Nuh police spokesperson said.

A team of Crime Investigation Agency (CIA), Punhana, led by Inspector Sandeep Mor, was formed to nab Shakir who had several cases registered against him on robbery, theft and possessing illegal weapons.

Police received information that Shakir was going towards Tirwada on a motorcycle. The police team put a barricade on Punhana Jurhera road drain.

According to police, Shakir came riding a motorcycle and when he saw the police, he allegedly started to run away and opened fire on the police team. When the police chased him, his motorcycle lost balance at high speed and overturned and he fell down.

He allegedly fired again at the police team and during retaliatory police firing, Shakir received a bullet in his right leg. Police caught him and sent him to a hospital for treatment, they said.

A Hyderabad man allegedly killed his wife and attempted to cover up the crime by chopping the body into multiple pieces and boiling them in a pressure cooker. Guru Murthy, a 45-year-old man, made these claims during a police investigation after his wife went missing. The claims are being verified.

Venkata Madhavi, 35, was reported missing by the family on January 16. When police began the investigation, they were suspicious of the husband. Upon questioning him, the man confessed to the crime.

Police Inspector Nagaraju said, “The parents had lodged a missing complaint with us. The husband also came with them. We grew suspicious and questioned him. He confessed to this crime.”

According to a TOI report, the man chopped the body in the bathroom and boiled the parts in a pressure cooker. He then separated the bones, ground them using a pestle and boiled them again. After multiple rounds of cooking flesh and bones for three days, the man reportedly packed and dumped them into Meerpet Lake.

Guru Murthy, a former soldier, is currently employed as a security guard with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).

The couple is parent to two children – a boy and a girl.

Reportedly, the duo had frequent fights. It is not clear why and how the alleged murder took place. The police are investigating the case.

A man murdered his wife and hid her body in a bed in their home in Delhi with the intention of chopping it up, but his hunger for killing did not stop there. Having fled to Amritsar, he set out for Delhi a few days later, aiming to murder a friend of his wife that he suspected her of having an affair with.

He was arrested on the way back from Amritsar and is now in police custody.

Deputy Commissioner of Police Ankit Chauhan said the body of 26-year-old Deepika Chauhan was recovered from inside a box bed in southwest Delhi’s Janakpuri on Friday. The mouth of the body was wrapped with white tape to delay its decomposition. Investigation revealed that Deepika, who used to work in a spa, was married to Dhanraj, a motorcycle rider for popular bike taxi apps. Dhanraj was an alcoholic and spent all his money on his addiction and Deepika ran the household with her money. 

The police’s probe revealed that Deepika had been killed on December 29 and Dhanraj was on the run. They traced his location to Amritsar and arrested him when he was on his way back to Delhi on Monday.

During interrogation, Dhanraj said he intended to leave Deepika’s body in the bed and then chop it up a few days later so he could scatter the pieces in a deserted place and avoid suspicion. He said he had also looked up ways of chopping up a person’s body on YouTube.

Officials said Dhanraj also confessed that he was returning to Delhi on Monday to kill a friend of his wife that he did not like, but he was arrested before he could carry out the murder. 

Police said even though his phone was off, a UPI payment made from one of his accounts gave Dhanraj’s location away and enabled them to trace him. He had no criminal history. Three phones, including Deepika’s, were recovered from him.

Bhubaneswar:

A 24-year-old pharmacist along with his two girlfriends allegedly killed his wife by forceful anaesthesia in Bhubaneswar, police said on Wednesday.

The incident happened on October 28, but came to light only after the post-mortem examination revealed foul play, they said.

Pradmunya Kumar, the pharmacist, and his two girlfriends — Roji Patra and Ejita Bhuyan, both nurses — have been arrested, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Pinak Mishra said.

Pradmunya married Subhashree in 2020 after dating for years, and since then he has been torturing her. For the last six months, Subhashree had been living with her parents in Khurda as a result, police said.

Amid his problems with Subhashree, Pradyumna met Ejita last year and got close to her. He met Roji in March this year, and the three got along well.

They allegedly conspired to kill Subhashree and at about 2 pm on October 27, Pradyumna brought his wife to Roji’s house in Sampur area where she was overdosed with drugs meant for anaesthesia, police said.

An unconscious Subhashree was taken to the Capital Hospital on October 28 where Pradyumna told doctors that she tried to die by suicide. She was eventually declared brought dead.

The post-mortem examination revealed high dose of anaesthesia drugs was the reason behind her death, which prompted the police to further investigate the case, Mr Mishra said.

“After discussing with the medical officer, who conducted the post-mortem examination, we got the clue that it was not just an unnatural death and there was some foul play involved. We interrogated the accused, who confessed that they had forcefully injected anaesthesia drugs into the deceased,” he said.

A special team has been formed to conduct a detailed investigation into the sensational case, the DCP said.

“If required, we will take the prime accused on remand and recreate the crime scene,” he said.

A man brutally hacked his wife to death and injured his mother-in-law in broad daylight on a busy street in Andhra Pradesh’s Nandyal today.

New Delhi:

A 55-year-old man has been arrested after he allegedly murdered his wife and kept her body at home for four days. When an unbearable stench started coming from their Ghaziabad home, Bharat Singh sat in front of his house, started screaming that he had killed his wife and asked neighbours to call the cops.

The incident has been reported at a rented flat in a housing colony in Ghaziabad. Senior police officer Naresh Kumar said the body of Sunita (51) was recovered from the flat yesterday. “We were informed by the neighbours that Bharat had choked his wife Sunita to death. On reaching there, we found the body at their home. The murder appears to have happened at least three days back. We have arrested the accused. He has told us during questioning that he killed his wife during an altercation over a family issue. We have informed the woman’s family members and sent the body for autopsy,” he said, adding that the investigation is on.

A neighbour said they were clueless about the crime till Singh told them that he had killed his wife and wanted to surrender to the cops. “Her body was at home for 4-5 days before police arrived and recovered the body,” he said.

Another neighbour described how Singh sat outside his home and told every passer-by that he had killed his wife. “We don’t know what happened. He sat here and screamed, ‘I have killed my wife, get me arrested.’ So we called the cops and they found the body. We do not need anything else,” he said.
