A man allegedly killed his wife with the help of his nephew and a friend over the suspicion of illicit affairs in Lucknow, police said, adding that to disappear the evidence, the suspect staged the murder as an accident.
Police said the man has accused his wife of having an affair and killed her. Following this, police arrested three suspects. On May 20, police received information that a woman had died in a road accident in the Mohanlalganj area in Lucknow.
On getting information, a team of police reached the spot and rushed the woman to a nearby hospital, where she was declared dead. Police said that the accident seems suspicious, as there were no superficial injuries on the body of the woman. She sustained a deep injury to her stomach.
Following the suspicion, the woman’s husband, Mohammad Asif, was detained for interrogation. During the investigation, Asif confessed to the murder.
Amit Kumawat, additional deputy commissioner of police, said, “It was revealed that Asif was suspecting that his wife was in contact with another man. Out of suspicion, he killed his wife with the help of his nephew and a friend and posed the murder as an accident.”
Police said that all the suspects, including a minor, are in custody, and it came to the fore that they (husband and wife) were in dispute for the past few days. Investigators also revealed that Asif gave Rs 1 lakh to his nephew to execute the murder. Later, they joined their friend.
