Woman found murdered at house of ‘paramour’
tnn | Feb 28, 2019, 04:38 ISTKanpur:A 35-year-old woman was found murdered at her alleged paramour’s rented accommodation in Mataiyapurwa area in Kakadeo police area of the city on Tuesday night.
The body with strangulation marks was discovered only after her alleged paramour, Raju, apprised her husband Nirmal Srivastava on phone and asked him to reach the spot and recover the body. “But, when Nirmal reached there, he found the house locked and alerted local police. The police broke open the house and discovered the body of the deceased lying on the floor,” said CO Ajit Singh.
The deceased, identified as Arti, a native of Lucknow, was married to Nirmal, a computer parts supplier in the same district.
Police suspected that the woman, who was strangled to death with a help of a ‘dupatta’, seemed to have been killed on Tuesday afternoon.
Police said that during preliminary probe it came to fore that Arti was having an extramarital affair with Raju, who too is a married person and a permanent native of Gonda district. “About 20 days ago, Raju, had come to live in city’s Mataiyapurwa locality and had rented a one-room set.”
Police have registered a case on the basis of complaint by the victim’s husband against Raju, who is untraceable.
Police said Raju had confronted her and warned her to keep away from her husband. The police said efforts were being made to arrest of the accused. “We are also checking if tenant verification was done in this case,” the investigating officer said.
