Maharashtra: Woman arrested for running brothel confesses to killing husband 12 years ago

It often happens that police busts someone and by chance solve another crime as well. 

In Boisar in Maharashtra's Palghar, rural police arrested a woman under the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act for running a prostitution racket. Four women were rescued from the 37-year-old woman's house in Boisar's Dandipada.

The woman in question, Sarita Bharti, turned out to be a murderer as well.

On interrogation, Bharti confessed to another crime, of killing her husband -- Sahdeo Bharti -- 12 years ago, as per a report on ANI. After murdering her husband, Bharti had dumped his body in the septic tank of her house.
