Gujarat Wife, Lover Poisoned Husband, Buried in Factory
A man named Jignesh Mavdiya disappeared for two years in the city of Jamnagar, India.
His wife, Prithvi, and her lover, Nilesh, are accused of killing him by putting poison in his drink.
After he died, they buried his body in a deep hole inside a factory.
Prithvi told Jignesh’s family that he had gone to Australia for work, which made them think he was alive.
When a family member tried to contact him, she finally admitted the murder.
Police found the body and are checking it with DNA tests.
The case is being investigated as a murder and destruction of evidence.
Jignesh Mavdiya was murdered on May 31, 2024, by cyanide‑laced alcohol.
His wife Prithvi and lover Nilesh buried his body in a 12‑foot pit inside a Dared GIDC factory.
Prithvi told the family he had moved to Australia, a story that lasted two years.
The murder was revealed after a family member requested Jignesh’s contact details for a trip to Australia.
Police have arrested Prithvi, Nilesh, and a third suspect, and are conducting DNA analysis on the remains.
