In a case that seems straight out of a Bollywood thriller, Ahmedabad police have uncovered a horrifying murder that remained hidden for nearly a year. The body of a 35-year-old man was discovered buried beneath the kitchen floor of his own home, with his wife and her lover being the main accused in this chilling crime.
The Gruesome Discovery
After being missing for approximately one year, concerned family members finally approached the police regarding the disappearance of Pravin Chaudhary. What began as a routine missing person investigation quickly turned into something far more sinister when police decided to search the family home in Ahmedabad's Ramol area.
During their search, officers noticed something unusual about the kitchen floor. The concrete appeared newer and different from the surrounding area. Acting on their suspicion, police obtained permission to excavate the section, leading to the horrifying discovery of Pravin's decomposed body buried just beneath the surface.
A Plot Worthy of Bollywood
The murder method bears an uncanny resemblance to the popular Bollywood film Drishyam, where a family hides a body to cover up a crime. According to police officials, the accused - Pravin's wife Rinku and her lover Hitesh - had meticulously planned and executed the murder before burying the evidence literally in their own home.
"The accused couple had dug a pit in the kitchen, committed the murder, and buried the body right there," revealed a senior police officer involved in the investigation. "They then cleverly covered it with concrete, making it look like a regular floor."
The Investigation Unfolds
Police became suspicious when family members reported that Pravin had been missing since May 2023. The wife had initially claimed he had left home after an argument and never returned. However, inconsistencies in her story and the observations of alert investigators eventually led them to the truth.
The investigation revealed that the alleged affair between Rinku and Hitesh provided the motive for the murder. The two accused are now in police custody and face charges of murder, destruction of evidence, and conspiracy.
Community in Shock
Neighbors and community members expressed complete shock upon learning the gruesome details. "We never suspected anything like this," said one neighbor. "The wife continued living in the house normally, even with the body buried right beneath her feet. It's terrifying to think about."
The case has sent ripples through the community, with many drawing parallels to crime thrillers they've seen in movies, never imagining such scenarios could play out in real life.
