Bengaluru Couple Murder: Husband Kills Wife, Body Hidden
A woman named Reema Kumari from Bihar moved to Bengaluru with her husband, Dheeraj Kumar, to find work.
A few days after she stopped showing up for her job, neighbors smelled something bad and found her body in a rented house.
The police say Dheeraj wrapped her body in a bedsheet and left.
They think he went back to Bihar after the crime.
The police are looking for him and trying to find out why he did it.
Reema Kumari, a migrant from Bihar, was murdered by her husband Dheeraj Kumar.
The body was wrapped in a bedsheet and hidden near the toilet in their rented house.
The crime was discovered after a foul smell alerted neighbors on the outskirts of Bengaluru.
Police suspect the murder happened on Sunday and that Dheeraj fled to Bihar soon after.
A manhunt is underway while investigators examine CCTV footage and other evidence.
