Vadodara police have arrested a 25-year-old woman for allegedly murdering her husband five days prior in the Tandalja area. The woman, Gulbanu Banjara, initially reported her husband, Irshad, as having died of a heart attack on November 18th. However, her suspicious behavior and frequent phone calls prompted Irshad's family to request a police investigation.
Investigators uncovered a conspiracy involving Gulbanu's lover, Tausif, and an accomplice named Mama. The plan involved Gulbanu administering an unknown substance to her husband to incapacitate him. Subsequently, Tausif and Mama allegedly entered the home and strangled Irshad with Gulbanu's dupatta, staging the death as a natural one.
