Wife Allegedly Plots Husband’s Murder with Lawyer Lover
Indore police have uncovered disturbing details in the murder of Dr. Sunil Sahu, a 30-year-old homoeopathic doctor. Initial investigations suggest that his wife, involved in an extramarital affair with a Ujjain-based lawyer, conspired with her lover to hire a hitman to eliminate him.
The Incident: A Cold-Blooded Murder
Dr. Sahu was shot dead in his clinic by three masked men late Friday night. Posing as patients seeking treatment for cough and cold, one of the attackers shot him in the chest and fled. CCTV footage revealed the assailants’ escape route, heading toward Ujjain.
Critical Breakthrough: Call Recordings and Social Media Evidence
A call recording on Dr. Sahu’s phone exposed the connection between his wife and the lawyer, who had been in regular contact since 2021. The doctor reportedly discovered the affair and confronted his wife, demanding she inform her family about it, which may have led to the alleged murder conspiracy.
The Lawyer: A Key Suspect on the Run
The lawyer, suspected of orchestrating the crime, hired a shooter from Aligarh, U.P., providing details about Dr. Sahu’s clinic. When police attempted to arrest him at his residence, he escaped by jumping off the roof. A manhunt has been launched, with a reward of ₹5,000 for information on his whereabouts.
The Wife’s Denial and Ongoing Investigation
Despite evidence of her frequent communication with the lawyer, the doctor’s wife has denied involvement in the murder. Authorities believe the lawyer’s arrest will shed light on her role and confirm the identities of the hired shooters.
Police Actions and Further Leads
- A raid was conducted in Aligarh to trace the shooter.
- Teams have been dispatched to Gurugram, where the lawyer operates another advisory firm.
- Friends and relatives of the lawyer have been questioned, with reports of him borrowing money recently.
Police Statement
A senior police officer stated, “The lawyer’s arrest will clarify the identities of the shooters and reveal the wife’s role in the crime. Further interrogation will uncover additional details.”
The case continues to unfold as authorities intensify their efforts to apprehend the suspects and unravel the full extent of the conspiracy.
