UP: Man takes dad’s help to kill wife’s paramour, held in Sitapur

LUCKNOW: A man, in connivance of his father, murdered his wife’s paramour in Sitapur. Both the accused have been arrested.
SHO, Imaliya Sultanpur, Rajesh Singh said the accused told the police that he got married in May this year.
“He claimed that he often used to spot his wife talking to someone over the phone during late hours. He said his wife also remained out of the house for long,” Singh said.
He claimed that he once saw his wife with a man, Mohit, in an objectionable position.“He initially ignored the matter but soon became a butt of jokes among his relatives and villagers. He discussed the matter with his father after which they decided to eliminate Mohit,” the officer said.
“The duo called Mohit for a meeting at Golapur-Sitapur turn on Wednesday where they slashed his throat with a sharp-edged weapon. They then tied the body to his motorcycle and hit it with a tree to make it appear as an accident,” said Singh.
Mohit’s postmortem examination report on Thursday revealed it to be murder. Mohit’s kin also informed the police that he had received a call from the accused. On the basis of surveillance and evidence, the police arrested the father-son duo.
