UP Woman, Partner Arrested for Husband's Murder
In a village in Uttar Pradesh, India, a woman named Renu Devi and her female partner Malti Devi are accused of a very serious crime.
They allegedly hired some bad people to kill Renu's husband, Ram Sumer Singh.
The reason?
Ram found out about Renu and Malti's secret relationship and didn't approve.
He even stopped them from seeing each other.
This made the two women very angry, and they decided to do something terrible.
They paid some money to have Ram killed.
The police found out about this plan when they started investigating Ram's death.
They found phones, clothes, and a rope used in the crime, but they are still looking for the knife and Ram's phone.
The accused have admitted their roles to the police.
It's a sad and complicated story about love, secrets, and the consequences of our actions.
Renu Devi (35) and her partner Malti Devi (35) allegedly conspired to murder Renu's husband, Ram Sumer Singh (45), over their same-sex relationship.
Singh was found dead with his throat slit in a pulse field in Tiker village, Asothar, on January 14.
The duo allegedly hired Jitendra Gupta and his associates, Raju Sonkar and Ram Prakash, to kill Singh for Rs 60,000, with Rs 8,000 paid in advance.
The assailants allegedly strangled Singh with a rope before slitting his throat and dumping the body in the field.
Police have arrested Renu Devi, Malti Devi, and Raju Sonkar, while Gupta and Ram Prakash are absconding.
