    INDORE: Five people were arrested on Monday in connection with the murder of a call centre staffer in Indore in Madhya Pradesh, with the deceased’s wife among those held, a police official said.

    Call centre employee Akash Midkiya (29) was found stabbed to death after being blinded by chilli powder here on October 13, he said.

    “Our probe led to the arrest of Midkiya’s wife Vartika Shrivastav, (29), Manish Sharma (35), Jitendra Verma (43), Arjun Mandloi (28) and Ankit Panwar (23).

    Vartika, who works in a private hospital in Dewas district, was in an illicit relationship with her colleague Manish Sharma, and this angered Midkiya who asked them to break it off,” Deputy Inspector General of Police Manish Kapuria told reporters.

    “Vartika and Sharma hatched a conspiracy to kill Midkiya, and roped in Verma, Mandloi and Panwar to execute the plan. When Midkiya was returning on a two-wheeler after dropping his wife at LIG Square, Mandloi and Panwar stopped him and stabbed him to death after throwing chilli powder in his eyes. The two then shaved their heads and beards to hide from the police,” the DIG said.

    Over 150 CCTV cameras in a 90-kilometres radius from the crime spot were checked to crack the case, he added.

    CHHATARPUR: Police have arrested a 63- year-old college professor for allegedly electrocuting to death her doctor husband over a domestic dispute in Madhya Pradesh’s Chhatarpur city, officials said on Sunday.

    The incident took place on April 29 following which she allegedly tried to mislead the police by saying that her 65-year-old husband, a renowned physician, died after being unwell for a long time, they said.

    The woman was arrested on Saturday after she admitted before police that she killed her husband, Deputy Superintendent of Police Shashank Jain said.

    “We arrested the accused, a Chemistry professor with the Government Maharaja Post Graduate College here, on Saturday,” Superintendent of Police Sachin Sharma said.

    The official said the probe into the case suggests she doubted her husband’s character, and due to this the couple used to have frequent fights.

    Jain said during questioning, the woman told the police that on April 29, she mixed sleeping pills in her husband’s food and after he fell unconscious, she electrocuted him with a live wire.

    Earlier, she did not inform the police immediately about the incident and cooked up a story that since she and her son were unwell, they rushed to Jhansi in a private car for treatment on April 30 morning, police said.

    She lodged a police complaint on May 1, saying her husband was unwell for a long time and died on the night of April 29, they said, adding that she came under the police scanner as she approached them two days after the incident.

    “After extensive questioning, she finally admitted that she killed her husband,” Jain said.

    According to police, the couple used to have frequent quarrels and the doctor once complained to them that his wife had locked him in a bathroom at their home.

    A mentally challenged son of the couple lived with them, Jain added.
