In a chilling incident that has sent shockwaves through Uttar Pradesh, a man allegedly murdered his wife and took the macabre step of burying her body beneath their marital bed, continuing to sleep directly above her remains for several days.
The gruesome discovery was made in the Bulandshahr district after the woman's family grew suspicious about her prolonged absence. According to police reports, the accused, identified as Jitendra, confessed to the brutal crime during interrogation.
The Horrific Sequence of Events
Investigators revealed that the couple had been embroiled in frequent domestic disputes. The situation reached its tragic climax when Jitendra allegedly strangled his wife during a heated argument. What followed was even more disturbing.
Instead of reporting the death or arranging a proper burial, the accused dug a pit beneath the very bed they had shared and buried his wife's body. He then continued his daily routine, sleeping over the concealed grave as if nothing had happened.
Discovery and Investigation
The truth began to unravel when the victim's family repeatedly tried to contact her without success. Their growing concern prompted them to visit the couple's home, where they found Jitendra's behavior increasingly suspicious.
"When family members questioned him about his wife's whereabouts, he gave inconsistent answers," stated a police official involved in the case. "This raised their suspicions further, leading them to approach local authorities."
Police Intervention and Confession
Upon investigating the premises, police made the grisly discovery of the woman's body buried beneath the bedroom floor. The accused initially attempted to mislead investigators but eventually broke down and confessed to the murder.
"The accused has been arrested and charged with murder," confirmed senior police officials. "The body has been sent for postmortem examination to determine the exact cause of death."
This horrifying case has highlighted serious concerns about domestic violence and the extreme measures some individuals take to conceal their crimes. Local communities have expressed shock and outrage over the incident, calling for stricter measures to prevent such tragedies.
The investigation continues as authorities work to build a comprehensive case against the accused, while the victim's family mourns their devastating loss.
