Man and Lover Arrested for Murdering Wife and Dumping Body in Gomti River
In Lucknow, Umendra Pratap Singh and his alleged lover Aarti Verma were arrested for the murder of Umendra's wife, Anjali Singh. The couple reportedly began a relationship after meeting seven months prior. Police say Anjali objected to the affair, leading Umendra and Aarti to smother and strangle her before dumping her body in the Gomti River. Umendra filed a missing person report to mislead authorities. Investigations included seizure of jewellery, phones, and the vehicle used, with Umendra confessing to the crime during questioning.
