A shocking case has emerged from Uttar Pradesh’s Auraiya, where a newly married woman, Pragati Yadav, has been arrested for orchestrating her husband’s murder.
She, along with her lover Anurag Yadav and contract killer Ramji Nagar, planned and executed the crime just days after her wedding.
According to the police, Pragati married Dilip Yadav on March 5 but was reportedly forced into the marriage. She had been in a relationship with Anurag Yadav for four years and wanted to be with him. To eliminate her husband, she allegedly hired Nagar for ₹2 lakh.
On March 19, Dilip Yadav was taken to a field in Palia village by Nagar under the pretense of some work. He was later found severely injured and succumbed to his injuries three days later. CCTV footage from the crime scene helped the police trace the accused. During interrogation, Nagar confessed to the murder.
The investigation revealed that Pragati and Anurag carefully plotted the murder, believing it was the only way for them to be together.
The crime has sent shockwaves through the region, raising concerns about the increasing number of such premeditated killings driven by personal relationships.
The trio is now in police custody and will face legal proceedings.
