Bengaluru: A 46-year-old woman, identified as P Asha, and her lover have been arrested after an autopsy on the exhumed body of her husband revealed that, unlike her claim, he did not die of a heart attack but was strangulated.

Police have arrested Asha, who worked as a house-keeper, and her lover Chandrappa (48), a cook, under charges of murdering Asha’s husband K Paramesh (50), at the latter’s house in Hebbur in Tumakuru district.

Paramesh is said to have discovered the extramarital affair Asha had with Chandrappa, which led the lovers to decide to eliminate him, police sources have said. Paramesh, who was an alcoholic, was known to consume a few pegs every night. On January 29 night, when he went to bed, Asha and Chandrappa strangulated him to death.

The next morning, Asha called her relatives and informed them that her husband had died of heart attack, after which, Paramesh’s body was buried.

On March 4, however, Paramesh’s elder sister K Nagamma filed a police complaint, expressing suspicion over the cause of her brother’s death.

An investigating officer has said that Nagamma grew suspicious since Asha remained unaffected by her husband’s death and was close to Chandrappa. When Nagamma asked Asha for details about Paramesh’s death, she found Asha giving contradictory statements, which led her to file the complaint.

Ludhiana (PTI): Six persons have been arrested in connection with the murder of Congress leader Parminder Tiwari, who was hacked to death with an axe on Sunday in Machhiwara here.

Tiwari, the block president of the Congress party from Machhiwara in Ludhiana, was murdered on March 29 while sitting outside his rented quarters near Takhran village

Deputy Commissioner of Police Jaskaranjit Singh Teja stated the case is neither linked to politics nor gang rivalry.

The main accused, Vijay Kumar and Lucky, were apprehended in Jamalpura village in Munger district, Bihar, by a special team dispatched there, police said.

Preliminary investigations suggest that the suspects aimed to illegally occupy a piece of panchayat land in the Machiwara area, but Tiwari opposed their plans. The accused allegedly visited Tiwari at his rented quarters on March 29 and attacked him with an axe, resulting in his immediate death, officials said.

The other four individuals arrested are relatives of the main accused and were aware of the murder plot, the DCP added.

Police have recovered the axe used in the crime, as well as the motorcycle the accused used to flee the scene.
