Meerut woman, lover sentenced to death for killing her husband and leaving snake on his bed as cover-up
Post-mortem examination found injury marks on his neck and nose and that he died of strangulation, police said
A court in Meerut sentenced Ravita and her lover Amardeep to death on Friday (October 16, 2026) for the murder of Amit Kashyap, according to officials. The couple allegedly killed Amit, a resident of Akbarpur Sadat village, by strangling him and leaving a live snake beside his body as a cover-up, the court officials reported. Amit's body was discovered on a cot in his house on April 13 last year, with a live snake found nearby.
Initially, the family suspected a snakebite as the cause of death, but a post-mortem examination revealed injury marks on Amit's neck and nose, indicating he was strangled, police explained.
