In a disturbing case that has shaken Bengaluru, a 32-year-old woman was allegedly murdered by her own husband over suspicions of an extramarital affair, with the perpetrator attempting to disguise the crime as an accidental electrocution.
The victim, Shilpa H, met a tragic end in her Horamavu home on June 22nd, but what initially appeared to be a domestic accident has now been uncovered as a premeditated murder by Bengaluru police.
The Chilling Cover-Up
According to police investigations, Shilpa's husband, Harish N, reported to authorities that his wife had died from an electric shock while using a grinding machine in their kitchen. The scene was carefully staged to support this narrative, complete with the grinding machine placed near the body to suggest an accidental death.
"The husband had meticulously arranged the scene to make it look like an electrical accident," revealed a senior police official involved in the case. "He even disconnected the main power switch to add credibility to his story."
Suspicion Turns Deadly
The investigation took a dramatic turn when police discovered that Harish had been harboring suspicions about his wife's alleged involvement with another man. This jealousy apparently festered until it culminated in the fatal attack.
Forensic evidence and witness statements eventually contradicted Harish's account of events. Medical examinations and crime scene analysis provided crucial evidence that pointed toward homicide rather than accident.
Justice Pursued
Harish has been arrested and now faces murder charges under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code. The Horamavu police continue their investigation to establish the complete sequence of events and gather additional evidence.
This tragic incident highlights the devastating consequences of domestic disputes and suspicion, ending a young woman's life and leaving a community in shock. The case serves as a grim reminder of the extreme outcomes that can result from unresolved relationship conflicts and unchecked suspicions.
