She married him two years ago. Then she plotted his murder with lover

She married him two years ago. Then she plotted his murder with lover

A 35-year-old woman conspired to murder her husband while he slept at their home in Lucknow’s Mohanlalganj area. Her alleged lover Munna, 52, and his friend Mohammad Iqbal, 40, were arrested in connection with the case. Ram Kishore Valmiki, the victim, was a 35-year-old laborer from Dubagga who had recently discovered the woman's affair with Munna.

This led to frequent disputes between the couple and his return to his first wife, Kavita Devi, who he financially supported. The woman's 16-year-old son from her first marriage was detained for allegedly hiding evidence. The woman, Munna, and Iqbal allegedly planned the murder on the night of September 14-15. They entered the house, attacked Ram Kishore with a knife while he was asleep, and attempted to cover their tracks by plastering over the floor.

They then hid the body under a bed, and the knife, a blood-stained broom, and some of Ram Kishore's clothes were concealed within the house. The following night, the body was placed in an e-rickshaw and dumped beneath a canal bridge around 22 km from their home. The case was solved with the help of local intelligence and footage from 180 CCTV cameras, which also recovered the murder weapon and the e-rickshaw used to transport the body.
