Maharashtra: Woman kills husband with the help of lover, arrested
A woman and her paramour have been arrested along with one more person from Dombivli in Thane district of Maharashtra for allegedly killing her husband, police said on Friday. "On June 4, a report had been filed at Manpada Police Station about one Pravin Patil (30) going missing from Manpadagaon in Dombivli," senior Inspector of Kalyan crime unit, Sanju John, said.
'Woman gave incorrect information about her husband's whereabouts'
They were arrested by the Kalyan crime branch unit of Thane Police. "The crime branch officials began a probe and checked the mobile phones of the man's wife and relatives," the inspector said. "His wife, Laxmi Patil, was interrogated. However, she gave evasive answers and incorrect information about where her husband was on June 1 and 2," he said.
Her husband had learned of his wife's illicit relationship
"Police found that the woman had contacted Arvind alias Mari Ravindra Ram and Sunny Kumar Ramanand Sagar on those two days. Accordingly, they were called for questioning," he said. "During their interrogation, it came to light that the woman was in an illicit relationship with Arvind, which her husband had come to know about," the official said.
Man was beaten with iron rods and strangulated to death
"Therefore, she decided to eliminate him. As part of the plan, she took her husband to Arvind's house on June 2 at midnight, where they beat him with iron rods and strangulated him to death. The third accused also helped them in the crime," the official said. "Later, they dumped the body in a culvert at Shelu village in neighboring Raigad district," he added.
Case under IPC Section 302 was registered against the trio
After the offense came to light, the accused showed the spot where they had dumped the body. The body was recovered on June 16, and a case under IPC Section 302 (murder) and others was registered against the trio.
