Bengaluru Woman and Associate Arrested for Husband's Murder and Body DisposalPreviousNext

Bengaluru police arrested 21-year-old Archana Chauhan and her associate Parul Pal for allegedly murdering Archana's husband, Abhijith Pandit. The couple and Pal, all security guards, reportedly had strained relations after Pandit suspected Archana's relationship with Pal. Pal and his associates allegedly strangled Pandit on May 27 and buried his body near a lake in Linganahalli. Archana filed a missing person complaint the next day. Both accused confessed during police interrogation, leading to the body's recovery and post-mortem examination.
