Woman, Lover Arrested for Husband's Murder and Body Disposal in Lucknow
In Lucknow, police arrested a woman, her lover, and three others for allegedly murdering her husband, Ramkishore Valmiki, while he slept. The body was reportedly concealed in a wooden box and transported about 20 km by e-rickshaw before being dumped in a canal culvert near Bhavakheda village. The accused included the second wife, Sufiya Bano, her lover Munna alias Muchhad, his associate Mohammed Iqbal, and a 16-year-old boy taken into protective custody. The motive appears linked to Sufiya's extramarital relationship and domestic disputes.
