In a case that seems straight out of a Bollywood thriller, Ahmedabad police have uncovered a chilling murder that bears striking resemblance to the plot of the popular film Drishyam. The gruesome crime involved a man being murdered and buried beneath his own house, with his wife and her lover orchestrating the entire cover-up.
The Grisly Discovery
Police officials made the shocking discovery after receiving multiple missing complaints about Jayesh Patel, a resident of Nikol area. What began as a routine missing person investigation quickly turned into a murder case when authorities noticed inconsistencies in the statements provided by the victim's wife, Hansa Patel.
The Drishyam Connection
Investigators were stunned to find that the modus operandi closely mirrored the plot of the hit Bollywood film Drishyam, where a family buries a body beneath their house to conceal a crime. In this real-life adaptation, the victim's body was found buried under the cement floor of his own residence.
Love Triangle Turns Deadly
According to police reports, the murder was the result of an extramarital affair between Hansa Patel and her paramour, identified as Pravin Chaudhary. The illicit relationship allegedly turned deadly when the couple decided to eliminate Jayesh Patel to continue their affair without interference.
Police Investigation Breakthrough
Ahmedabad police officials revealed that their investigation gained momentum when they noticed fresh cement work in the house and detected nervous behavior from the wife. "The accused had carefully planned the murder and burial, taking inspiration from the movie," stated a senior police officer involved in the case.
Arrests Made
Authorities have arrested Pravin Chaudhary, the main accused in the case, while Hansa Patel is currently under intense interrogation. Police are investigating whether other family members were involved in covering up the crime or had knowledge of the murder.
Community in Shock
The Nikol neighborhood where the crime occurred has been left reeling from the discovery. Local residents expressed shock and disbelief that such a brutal crime could happen in their community, with many noting the eerie similarity to the fictional film now playing out in real life.
The case serves as a disturbing reminder of how cinema can sometimes inspire criminal behavior, while also highlighting the dedication of law enforcement officials in uncovering the truth, no matter how well hidden.
