Woman kills bedridden husband with lover's help in Nagpur

Nagpur: A 30-year-old woman allegedly killed her paralysed husband with the help of her lover in Nagpur, police said on Sunday.

The crime was committed in the city’s Tarodi Khurd area. Victim Chandrasen Ramteke (38) had been bedridden for over a year, an official said.

During his illness, Chandrasen’s wife Disha got into a relationship with one Asif, alias Rajababu Tyrewala (28). When Chandrasen discovered the affair, tensions grew at home, said the official from Wathoda police station.

On Friday, Disha held her husband’s hands as Tyrewala choked him with a pillow. She claimed that Chandrasen had died of health reasons, but a post-mortem exposed her lies, the official said.

As police began questioning her, Disha confessed to the murder. She and her lover have been arrested, the official added.
