Bengaluru woman and lover arrested for murder of husband

Anita, 36, and her lover Madhusudhan Reddy, 46, were arrested in Bengaluru for the murder of Anita’s husband, Upendra, 41. Police learned that Upendra died of suffocation after being strangled and covered with his nose and mouth. The couple had argued over Anita’s relationship with Madhusudhan, and after Upendra warned them to stop, they allegedly conspired to kill him. The case was initially filed as an Unnatural Death Report but was converted to a murder case after the post‑mortem. Both accused were produced before a court and remanded to seven days of police custody for further interrogation. The investigation is ongoing.
