Jabalpur (PTI): A resident of Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh, who has been arrested on the charge of killing a Nagpur-based woman BJP member, has told the police that the victim was his wife and he murdered her over monetary and personal issues, an official here said on Saturday.
The accused, identified as Amit Sahu alias Pappu (37), also told the investigators that he killed the victim, Sana Khan, by hitting her with a stick in his house and later dumped her body in a river in the district, he said.
Amit Sahu was arrested from Jabalpur's Gorabazar area on Friday on the charge of killing Sana Khan, a resident of Nagpur. During the interrogation, he told the police that she was his wife and he killed her over monetary and personal issues, Additional Superintendent of Police Kamal Maurya said.
"The accused said he killed his wife (Khan) by hitting her with a stick in his house and later threw her body into the Hiran river from a bridge near Meregaon village under Belkheda police station limits," he said.
A search operation is currently on to find the victim's body in the river and its nearby areas, Maurya said.
The accused also revealed the name of his accomplice who was present with him during the offence and a search for that man is going on, he said.
The accused runs a 'dhaba' (roadside eatery), he said.
"The police in Maharashtra's Nagpur had registered a case on August 1 and its team visited Jabalpur on August 4 in search of the woman after the probe revealed that as per her last location, she was at a house in Jabapur," the official said.
The Jabalpur and Nagpur police jointly carried a search at the house and further action was taken accordingly, he said.
The Nagpur police earlier said 34-year-old Khan was the Bharatiya Janata Party's minority cell functionary in the eastern Maharashtra city.
On Friday, the Nagpur police said that accused Sahu confessed to have killed Khan, who went missing last week, and also showed the murder spot to the investigators.
A Nagpur police official said that Sahu and two others were arrested in Jabalpur on Friday, following which they were brought to Nagpur, where they will be produced in a court on Saturday.
Khan's mother Mehrunisha, a resident of Awasthi Nagar in Nagpur, lodged a complaint when her daughter went missing after leaving for Jabalpur on August 1 to meet Sahu, the police said.
Based on her complaint, a first information report (FIR) was lodged at the Mankapur police station against Sahu, who was booked under Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 364 (kidnapping or abducting in order to murder) and 506 (criminal intimidation), they said.
According to the FIR, Khan left from Nagpur in a private bus and contacted her mother the next day on reaching Jabalpur. Later she went missing.

Ghaziabad woman alleges harassment for dowry, demand to maintain body like actor Nora Fatehi
Ghaziabad: A 26-year-old woman from Ghaziabad has filed a complaint against her husband and in-laws, accusing them of harassment, body shaming, and demanding dowry. In her complaint, the woman alleges that her husband repeatedly told her she should resemble Bollywood actor Nora Fatehi and body-shamed her for not meeting these expectations.
The woman, a resident of Muradnagar, was married six months ago, with her family reportedly spending over Rs 76 lakh on the wedding. In addition to the lavish wedding, the woman’s family gifted her husband a Mahindra Scorpio, along with cash and jewellery. Despite these expenses, the woman claims her in-laws continued to harass her, demanding more dowry.
The complainant, whose husband is a physical education teacher at a government school, further alleges that he frequently body-shamed her, calling her “fat and ugly.” He allegedly insisted that she exercise for three hours a day, and when she failed to comply, she was deprived of food.
The situation took a darker turn when the woman found she was pregnant two months ago. According to her statement, she informed her mother-in-law, but received no response or support. The woman reportedly claims that her husband later gave her a pill, which she later identified online as being used for abortions. She alleges that when her health began to deteriorate, her in-laws sent her back to her parents’ home. After seeking medical attention, she was informed by doctors that she had suffered a miscarriage.
She also alleged that her husband frequently watched inappropriate content online and was a habitual womaniser.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Saloni Agarwal confirmed that an FIR has been filed at the women’s police station in Ghaziabad and an investigation is underway.
