A man from Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh planned his wife’s murder because of her spending habits. According to the police, the husband, Hemant Sharma, sought his friend’s help and paid them 2.5 lakh rupees to carry out the plan.
Police investigations uncovered the occurrence after 10 days as initially appeared to be a road accident. The incident took place on August 13. Sharma staged the murder as a road accident. On August 13, he took his wife, Durgawati, and her brother, Sandesh to a temple.
While returning from there, one of the Sharma’s accomplices deliberately rammed the car into the motorcycle carrying Durgawati and Sandesh. Durgawati was fatally injured and later died in the hospital, while Sandesh sustained his injuries.
Sharma initially claimed that a loaded vehicle had caused the accident and reported it as a hit-and-run. However, suspicions were raised, by contradictions in his statement and the absence of such a vehicle in local CCTV footage.
