Nizamabad (Telangana) [India], July 7 (ANI): Telangana Police have arrested a woman, her alleged boyfriend, and another accomplice for the alleged murder of her husband in Nizamabad district, officials said.

The deceased, identified as Ravi, 35, had returned to his native village from the Gulf on June 27 and died under suspicious circumstances on June 30.

According to police, the victim's 60-year-old father, also named Ravi, lodged a complaint expressing suspicion over his son's death. Based on the complaint, police registered a case and launched an investigation.

During the probe, investigators found that the deceased's wife, Sandhya, 32, was allegedly in a relationship with Anil, 35, a resident of Indrapuri Colony in Nizamabad. Police alleged that Sandhya and Anil conspired to kill Ravi and enlisted the help of Venkat Sai, 25, a resident of Nyalkal village.

According to the investigation, on June 29, Venkat Sai visited Ravi's house, consumed alcohol with him, and, allegedly acting on Sandhya's instructions over the phone, took him to the terrace of a building and pushed him off. Ravi sustained injuries in the fall but survived.

Police said Sandhya and Venkat Sai then shifted him to Nizamabad District Hospital for treatment before taking him to a private hospital and later bringing him back home.

Later that night, acting on Anil's instructions, Sandhya allegedly used an injection mixed with sleeping tablets to render Ravi unconscious. The accused then allegedly threw him from the bed, resulting in his death, police said.

All three accused have confessed to the crime during the investigation, according to police. They were produced before a magistrate and remanded to judicial custody.
