The man was identified as Shyamveer (42), a native of Hathras who lived with his wife in Mojabad village.

The arrested accused were identified as Shyamveer’s wife Keshav and her alleged lover Kamat.

According to police, interrogation revealed that Kamat was living with Shyamveer at his house in Mojabad and was having an affair with Keshav, which Shyamveer had discovered. This led to drunken quarrels between Shyamveer and his wife.

Keshav and Kamat allegedly conspired to eliminate Shyamveer.

On the evening of August 16, Kamat allegedly got Shyamveer drunk and, after he became intoxicated, killed him by hitting him on the head with an interlocking tile.




Meanwhile, Keshav allegedly closed the door from outside to prevent anyone from hearing the sound. The two then allegedly buried Shyamveer’s body under the soil in a pit near the house.

Police said the victim’s brother reached the couple’s residence on Monday evening to inquire about his brother. “She told him that her husband was untraceable. However, he suspected foul play as he said he knew about the woman’s alleged partner.

The victim’s brother then went into the nearby fields when he spotted a several-feet-deep pit dug up by strays and a human hand visible in it. He then alerted the police and the wife was detained.

She was formally arrested on Tuesday after confessing to the police; her partner, who was on the run, was also held from Delhi-Faridabad border when he was trying to flee.
