Agra Woman Arrested for Husband's Murder and Concealment Beneath Bathroom FloorPreviousNext

In Agra, Uttar Pradesh, a 44-year-old man, Surendra Sharma, was reported missing for 45 days before police discovered his body buried beneath the bathroom floor of his home. His wife, Ruby Sharma, has been arrested and is accused of murdering him, allegedly by drugging and strangling him, then concealing the body under plaster and tiles. Investigations are ongoing to determine the motive and whether others were involved. The case drew attention after inconsistencies in Ruby's statements and a tip from Surendra's brother prompted the search.
