A breakthrough in investigation in the suspected death of a migrant labour from Bihar has brought out shocking details of how wife conspired with her paramour to eliminate her husband who had become a stumbling block in their relationship.
According to the police, the killer love flew into the city from Patna, killed the husband and took a return flight to Bihar to cover his tracks. “The wife and her lover even had sex after killing the husband on the night of January 31”, a police official said.
The sensational detail of the murder conspiracy came to light after the police arrested the wife Malati Devi while she was trying to flee from the city. A team of Hyderabad police has gone to Bihar to nab the absconding killer Neeraj Kumar.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Sai Shekhar told the media in Hyderbad that the duo had strangulated the husband Jay Mangaldas, a migrant labour working in an industrial unit in the city, by strangulating him with piece of cloth. “They left a suicide note written by Neeraj Kumar besides the body to mislead the police”, he said.
Sanathnagar police station registered a case of suspicious death on the complaint of Mangaldas’ employer Mukesh Kumar. Subsequently the postmortem report also confirmed that this was case of murder and the role of Malathi Devi came under suspicion.
Mangal Das had come to Hyderabad 8 years ago with his family and had three sons. During one of his annual visits to his home town Ibrahipur in Patna his wife developed relations with Neeraj Kumar. Once caught red handed, the husband had warned Malathi Devi against meeting Neeraj and out of frustration the due planned to eliminate him.
Police said that Malathi Devi asked her love to take a flight to Hyderabad to execute the sinister plan.
As per the plan Neeraj took a flight to Hyderabad on January 31 evening and reached home of Mangal Das in Fateh Nagar around midnight and killed him.
