Lucknow, A woman allegedly got her husband killed by her lover and his associate following repeated disputes over the man’s continued contact with his first wife and later helped them hide and dispose of the victim’s body, police said on Friday.
On the night of September 14-15, Bano allegedly called the two men to her house and left the door unlatched. The police registered an FIR on September 17 under Section 103, among others, of the BNS following a complaint by Kavita Devi, Ramkishore’s first wife. Four police teams checked around 170-180 CCTV recordings along the suspected route of the e-rickshaw and used technical and field intelligence to trace it, Mushtaq said. Sufia Bano, Munna and Mohammad Iqbal were arrested on Friday, while Bano’s 16-year-old juvenile son was also apprehended.
The accused woman, her lover and his associate have been arrested and her minor son apprehended, two days after the husband’s body was found inside a trunk near a canal away from her residence, a senior officer said. They entered while Ramkishore was asleep and allegedly stabbed him to death, Mushtaq said. Police said they have also recovered the alleged murder weapon and the e-rickshaw used to transport the body.
