In Bulandshahr, a 25-year-old woman and her brother-in-law were taken into custody on Wednesday. They are accused of murdering her 28-year-old husband. Authorities report that the couple allegedly strangled the man and then hung his body from a ceiling hook to stage the scene as a suicide. Police are continuing their investigation into the incident.
Police said Kajal and Umesh, 22, were allegedly in a relationship and that Sumit had learnt about it.
The accused also allegedly believed that Sumit’s death would enable Kajal to gain control of the family property, which could later be shared with Umesh, police said.
