The accused have been identified as Sunita Kushwah (40), wife of the victim, and Rahul Dashrath Prajapati (30), a rickshaw driver from Ghansoli.

The victim has been identified as Baliram Suryanath Kushwah (50).

Sunita and Rahul allegedly planned the murder after Baliram objected to their relationship.

Police said the accused allegedly killed Baliram at his residence and later attempted to conceal the crime by chopping his body into pieces and disposing of his remains in a forest area.

During the investigation, technical evidence, call detail records (CDR) and interrogation of the suspects helped the police uncover the conspiracy after 11 months.

Baliram lived in Yadav Nagar with his wife and two children.

During this period, Sunita allegedly developed a relationship with Rahul.

After Baliram became aware of the relationship and opposed it, police alleged that the two accused decided to eliminate the obstacle.

Investigators said the children were sent to relatives before the alleged crime took place on August 9, 2025.

After the incident, Sunita allegedly rented out the Yadav Nagar house and moved with her children to Rahul’s residence in Ghansoli.

Police said she allegedly told relatives for several months that Baliram had left the house.

The court has sent both accused to seven days of police custody. Further investigation in the case is underway.
