In a shocking case of domestic violence and revenge in Madhubani, Bihar, a woman and her brother have been arrested for the murder of her husband, Vinod Kumar Pandey (45). His body was discovered on Friday afternoon in the Jaynagar police station area, thrown into bushes along NH-527.
The accused, Malti Devi, confessed to the crime during police interrogation. She admitted that her husband had been having an affair, which led to frequent arguments and physical abuse at home. Unable to bear the situation, she discussed it with her brother, Gagan Pandey, and together they planned the murder.
The incident occurred in Ward No. 1 of Dodwar Panchayat. Malti and Gagan attacked Vinod with an iron rod, killing him on the spot. They then disposed of his body by dumping it near the highway.
A team led by SDPO Raghav Dayal, Station House Officer Amit Kumar, SI Vipin Kumar, and 112 In-charge Faihimuddin Ansari reached the scene promptly. Within just two hours, they cracked the case and arrested both accused.
The victim’s mother, Rampati Devi, filed an FIR naming Malti Devi and Gagan Pandey. Both have now been sent to judicial custody, and further investigations are ongoing.
