Jaipur: In what appears to be a rerun of the gruesome murder of a Merchant Navy officer in Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut, a man in Jaipur was killed by his wife and her lover, and then the two were seen carrying the body of the deceased on a bike, shocking visuals of which have emerged.

A man, identified as Dhannalal Saini, was brutally murdered by his wife and her lover, after he got suspicious about his wife’s affair. On questioning his wife about her extra-marital affair, his wife Gopali Devi and her lover Deendayal hit the victim’s head with an iron rod, killing him on the spot.

The murder came to light after a half-burnt body was found near a main rod, under the jurisdiction of Muhana Police Station and the cops were informed. The body of the deceased was dumped on the road side in a jute bag, in an attempt to destroy the evidence of the bone-chilling murder.

The two accused then try to dispose off the body and get rid of the evidence, by trying to burn it. However, when they weren’t as successful, they wrapped the half-burnt body in a jute bag and then in a white sheet and carried it away on a bike.

2. In both Jaipur and Meerut Murders, the two accused have made desperate attempts to conceal the crime, hide and dispose off the body of the husbands and escape any kind of suspicion.
3. While Muskan Rastogi, one of the accused in the Merchant Navy officer’s murder case, along with her lover, cut her husband’s body into several pieces and dumped them in a cement drum; Gopali Devi, the accused in the Jaipur Horror, tried to burn off her husband’s body, to get rid of the evidence.
4. In both the cases, it is the failure to conceal the crime and the body of the deceased, that led to the arrest of the accused. While in the Meerut case, the labourer taking away the cement drum informed the cops after a foul smell, the half-burnt body of the Jaipur man dumped on the road in a jute bag, helped the cops catch Gopali Devi and her boyfriend.
