Newly-Wed Man Arrested for Wife's Murder in Ramtek

In a tragic incident, a 21-year-old woman named Divya Chhotulal Yadav from Bori (Singori) met a fatal end, allegedly murdered by her husband, Chhotulal Yadav, with the assistance of his paramour. The gruesome event unfolded in the vicinity of Bori village in the Ramtek Police Station area.

The couple, married for just two months, had a troubled relationship marked by suspicions of infidelity, mainly due to Chhotulal's conversations with another woman. On October 18, matters took a sinister turn as Chhotulal led his wife into a nearby jungle and reportedly strangled her to death with a scarf. His girlfriend was said to have aided in the crime. Following the murder, Chhotulal fled, leaving Divya's lifeless body behind.

The police, upon discovering the body, initiated a three-day investigation to identify the deceased. A missing persons report eventually led to her identification, and Chhotulal Yadav was apprehended. During questioning, he confessed to his involvement in the murder, leading to his arrest. A case has been registered against him under Sections 302 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

The investigation was led by a team of officers, including Superintendent of Police Harssh Poddar, Assistant Superintendent of Police Ashit Kamble, and various police personnel.
