Woman finds husband was murdered day he went missing

Rajkot: A woman who went to the Gandhigram police station in Rajkot on Monday evening to lodge her husband’s missing complaint was in for a shock. The police showed Sangeeta Rathod body of a man who was found murdered in open field near IOC depot on May 4. The body was of her husband 55-year-old Sagar Rathod, a native of Dhulia in Maharashtra. The couple was living in Madhapar village on the outskirts of Rajkot city.
According to police, after Rathod’s body was found they sent it for forensic postmortem which revealed that he was murdered.
Sagar was a tailor and was living with his wife and two children — daughter Kavya and son Jay. He had gone missing on May 4 but his wife thought that he might have gone to his native village. But when she was informed that Sagar was not in his native, Sangeeta approached police, only to find his body.
“We are questioning some suspects in the case and will detect the case soon,” police said, adding that the exact reason for Sagar’s murder was not clear yet.
