Man's body found at same spot where his wife was killed in October
Mumbai, Dec 9: The body of a 22-year-old man was found Sunday at the same place in a village in Maharashtra's Solapur district where his wife was killed by her parents two months ago in a suspected "honour killing" case, police said.
The incident came to light this morning at Salagar Budruk village near Mangalwedha town, when a passerby found the body of a man in a farm, which was later identified as that of Shrishail Chanappa Birajdar, an official said.
This was the same place in the farm, where Shrishail Birajdar's 22-year-old wife Anuradha Birajdar was killed allegedly by her parents and last rites were performed hurriedly to destroy evidence, he said.
It is not yet clear whether he committed suicide or was killed, the official said, adding the exact reason of Shrishail Birajdar's death will be known only after a post- mortem is conducted.
The police have called Shrishail Birajdar's family members from their native place in Karnataka, he said.
They have requested the police not to remove the body from the spot till they arrive there, the official said.
As of now the police have registered an accidental death case at the Mangalwedha Police Station and a probe is underway, he said.
Shrishail Birajdar's father was a farm labourer who worked at a farm owned by Anuradha Birajdar's father Vitthal Birajdar (55), the official said.
Shrishail Birajdar used to often visit the farm and over a period of time, he fell in love with Anuradha Birajdar, who was a medical student, he said.
Shrishail Birajdar and Anuradha Birajdar left their homes and got married at Sindagi in Karnataka on October 1, the official said, adding the woman's parents were angry over the alliance and did not approve it.
On October 2, Anuradha Birajdar came to her uncle's residence in Borale village, he said.
Her father took her from Borale to their residence in Salgar Budruk on October 4, saying she has to appear for her oral exams, he said.
The same day she was allegedly killed by her parents, who cremated her body hurriedly, he said, adding it appeared to be a case of "honour killing".
During the investigation, it was found that Anuradha Birajdar had written some notes in which she had expressed threat to her and Shrishail Birajdar's life, he said.
On the complaint of her uncle, the police had arrested Anuradha Birajdar's father and her step-mother on murder charges, the official said.

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
