Surendra Kumar Sharma had been missing since May 18, while his wife, Ruby, allegedly continued telling relatives and neighbours that he had gone somewhere and would return soon. A missing person’s report was eventually registered on May 26.

As the investigation progressed, police found several inconsistencies in the statements they received.




On Friday (July 2nd), officers revisited the house for verification in connection with an earlier case.

During the visit, they found Ruby’s behaviour suspicious. At the same time, Surendra’s brother shared crucial information with investigators, prompting a thorough search of the house.

Freshly laid tiles in the bathroom and new plaster immediately caught the attention of police.

Suspecting that something had been concealed beneath the floor, officers ordered the bathroom to be dug up.




Moments later, they uncovered the decomposed body of Surendra buried beneath the tiles.

The gruesome discovery sent shockwaves through the neighbourhood as crowds gathered outside the house.

During questioning, Ruby confessed to the murder. She revealed that she had arranged for a mason and labourers to carry out renovation work in the bathroom even before the incident.




Investigators, however, said the exact motive behind the killing and the complete sequence of events will be established only after examining all evidence collected during the investigation.

Surendra’s brother, Anil Sharma, said there were regular disputes between the couple.

Officials said they are probing the conspiracy, the possible involvement of other individuals, and every aspect of the case before taking further legal action.
