A man was brutally killed and stuffed into a suitcase by his wife and her lover—who is also her nephew—in Deoria. The suitcase was dumped nearly 50 kilometers away in a wheat field.
The victim, 28-year-old Naushad, had recently returned from Saudi Arabia after working there. His body was discovered on Sunday afternoon in Pakri Chhapar Patkhauli village under Tarkulwa police station limits. Identification was made possible through documents found inside the suitcase.
During investigation, police took Naushad's wife into custody. Upon questioning, she confessed to the murder, revealing she had an illicit relationship with her nephew. After Naushad's return, he reportedly objected to the affair, leading to the murder. On Saturday night, the duo killed him with a sharp weapon and stuffed the body into a suitcase, which they later discarded.
Deoria SP Vikrant Veer and ASP Arvind Kumar Verma visited the crime scene. Police have recovered the murder weapon and are conducting raids to nab the absconding lover. The woman remains in custody as further investigation continues.
