Jilted Wife Conspires with Lover to Murder Husband

On August 20, 2025, a 60-year-old man was brutally murdered in Karauli, Rajasthan. According to the police, the victim's 29-year-old wife, Kusum, conspired with her lover, Pintu Gurjar (30), to eliminate her husband, who was an obstacle to their relationship.

The case came to light on August 21, 2025, when the victim's grandson, Sachin, filed a missing complaint at the Balghat police station. Investigations revealed that Kusum had previously fed her husband sleeping pills and eloped with Pintu three times, only to be brought back by the family.

On the night of August 20, 2025, Kusum alerted Pintu and his associate, Shribhan, who were waiting outside with a car. She then persuaded her husband to step out of the house on the pretext of stomach pain. Pintu and Shribhan then overpowered the victim, strangling him with a towel. His body was then driven away and dumped in a stone-covered well near Bhidawali village.

During interrogation, Kusum admitted her role in the murder, revealing that her affair with Pintu had begun two to three years ago. She also disclosed that the plan to kill her husband was drawn up about 10 days earlier. Shribhan also confessed and corroborated the account.

The victim's body was recovered with the assistance of the SDRF and Bayana police, and later handed over to the family after a post-mortem examination. The police have arrested Kusum, Pintu, and Shribhan, while a minor has also been detained in connection with the case.
