Man ‘working in Australia’ for two years found buried in Jamnagar; wife, two others held
As the woman did not provide her husband’s Australian address despite repeated requests, the family of his cousin who wanted to go to Australia grew suspicious and registered a police complaint.
A man whose family had been searching for him after he went missing in Australia for two years was found dead in Jamnagar, Gujarat. The skeletal remains of Jignesh Mavadiya were discovered in a pit beneath a shed in an industrial area. The police have arrested his wife Prithvi, her alleged lover Nilesh Kachhatia, and their associate Balveer Verma in connection with his murder.
The crime was concealed for over two years before it was uncovered when one of Jignesh's cousins, planning to visit Australia, asked Prithvi for his Australian contact details. When she failed to provide them, the family suspected foul play and reported Jignesh missing to the police. Prithvi allegedly confessed to mixing cyanide in Jignesh's drink, leading to his death, and then burying his body in the industrial area.
