Bengaluru: Woman, lover arrested for murder of husband, sent to police custody
Bengaluru: Madanayakanahalli Police have arrested three suspects in connection with the case of a charred body of an unidentified man being found near the NICE Road at Gangondanahalli recently.
Having now identified the body to be of Yadgir-based Basavaraju (28), the police have arrested his wife Sharanamma (25), allegedly the mastermind behind the murder, her lover Veerabhadra (19) and his associate Anil, who are all daily wagers, as per a Deccan Herald report.
A senior police officer has said that Sharanamma lived with her husband in a rented house in Tigalarapalya. Veerabhadra, who worked at a construction site nearby and interacted with the couple frequently, grew close to Sharanamma and also developed a physical relationship with her. As Basavaraju objected to the relationship, however, Sharanamma planned to murder him.
On Friday, Basavaraju was asleep after consuming alcohol when Veerabhadra and Sharanamma smashed his head with a stone and strangled him with a rope. Veerabhadra also took the help of his friend Anil, who brought his car there, to dispose of the body.
After ensuring that the neighbours were asleep the trio wrapped Basavaraju’s body in old clothes, stuffed it into a sack and took it, along with a can of petrol, to Gangondanahalli in Anil’s car. At an isolated area there, they burned the body to destroy evidence.
A case of an unidentified burnt body being found had been registered at the Madanayakanahalli Police Station, but the officers who probed the case identified the victim and arrested Sharanamma, Veerabhadra and Anil late Thursday night.
The arrested trio has been sent into police custody for further probe of the case, while the car used for the crime has been confiscated by the police.

Man, wife arrested for murdering her lover in Mumbra
Thane (PTI): A man and his wife were arrested on Thursday in Mumbra in Thane district for allegedly murdering her lover, a police official said.
The probe into the case began after Raju Yadav, a resident of the Khardi Road area, was found dead with his throat slit on February 17, the Mumbra police station official said.
"Yadav, who was himself married, had been in a relationship with Farheen Mohammad Abid Malik (27) for the past eight months. Farheen's husband Mohammad Abid Abdul Wajid Malik (29) confronted her, after which the duo decided to kill Yadav," he said.
"On the midnight of February 17, Farheen called Yadav to an under-construction flat in the building, where she gave him a cold drink mixed with a chemical. After Raju became unconscious, Mohammad Malik came there and slit his throat. The couple has been remanded in police custody," the official said.
Further probe into the case, including where the chemical was procured, is underway, he said.
