Ramanagar, September 6: Third Additional District Sessions Court on Thursday issued a non-bailable warrant against Nithyananda Swami of Nithyananda Dhyana Peetha of Bidadi as he has failed to attend the court in a rape case.

Nithyananda was absent from the court hearings for the third consecutive time. Last time, Judge Gopalkrishna Rai had warned the advocate of Nithyananda.

Last time, CID advocate had brought to the notice of the Judge about the Supreme Court verdict and irresponsible attitude of Nithyananda.

Since Nithyananda was absent from the hearing on Thursday, the judge issued the non-bailable warrant against him and posted the hearing of the case to September 14.

Dhar (MP) (PTI): A 25-year-old woman and her lover have been arrested in the district for allegedly conspiring to kill her husband by hiring a contract killer, police said on Thursday.

The case was solved within 36 hours of the murder though the woman initially tried to mislead the police by claiming that robbers killed her husband, an official said.

Dev Krishna Purohit (28) was stabbed to death on the intervening night of Monday and Tuesday at his house in Gondikheda Charan village, about 60 km from here. 

Superintendent of Police Mayank Awasthi told reporters that accused Priyanka Purohit (25) was married to Dev Krishna when she was around 15 years old. Priyanka moved to her matrimonial home after attaining adulthood but was unwilling to live with her husband, leading to frequent disputes between them. 

During investigation, it emerged that she was in a relationship with Kamlesh (32), the SP said. 

The duo allegedly hatched a plan to kill Dev Krishna and hired a man identified as Surendra for Rs 1 lakh do the job, he said

After Dev Krishna was killed, Priyanka told police that unidentified persons broke into the house, attacked her husband with a sharp weapon while holding her captive in another room, and fled with valuables. 

But the inconsistencies in her statements raised suspicion, and eventually she confessed to hatching the murder conspiracy, the SP said.

While she and Kamlesh were arrested, police are looking for the contract killer, the official added.
