Woman held for allegedly killing husband and staging suicide in Hyderabad
A woman was arrested in Hyderabad's LB Nagar for allegedly strangling her husband, a vegetable vendor, and attempting to stage the death as a suicide. An autopsy confirmed homicide, leading police to register a murder case.
Hyderabad: A woman allegedly strangled her husband to death and attempted to portray the murder as a suicide after he reportedly became an obstacle to her extramarital relationship at their house in LB Nagar.
According to the police, the victim, Boda Narsing (36), a vegetable vendor, was living with his wife Swarupa and their two daughters in NTR Nagar in LB Nagar. The family originally hails from Tattupalli village in Koravi mandal of Mahabubabad district.
Police said Narsing had recently learned about his wife’s alleged extramarital relationship with a man named Mohan, a native of their village. The revelation reportedly led to frequent disputes between the couple.
It is believed that Swarupa considered her husband an obstacle to the extra marital relationship and planned to eliminate him.
On June 20, after sending her younger daughter out to a nearby shop to purchase coconut, Swarupa allegedly sat on her husband’s chest and strangled him with a dupatta, causing his death. She then tied the same dupatta to a cot in an attempt to make it appear that Narsing had died by suicide.
Following information from local residents, the LB Nagar police reached the spot and took up investigation. First they registered a case of suspicious death, however, the autopsy report from the Osmania General Hospital revealed that the victim had died due to strangulation, confirming it was a homicide.
During the probe, police seized the woman’s mobile phone and found that she had contacted her alleged lover shortly after the incident. On questioning, Swarupa reportedly confessed to the crime.
The case has since been altered to murder, and the suspect was remanded to judicial custody on Monday. Police said further investigation is on to determine whether any other individuals were involved in the crime.
