Two persons were today arrested for killing a 40-year-old man after he objected to his wife's alleged extra marital affair in Rajasthan's Jhalawar district.
Police said one of the accused was victim's brother-in-law who was allegedly provoked by his sister to murder her husband who had seen her in a compromising position with her paramour.
"Babulal had seen his 35-year-old wife with her paramour Srinath in a compromising position. The couple had heated arguments over this several times.
"On April 6, he sent his wife to her brother's house in Madhya Pradesh where she misled her brother Dinesh and provoked him to kill Babulal," SHO Arjun Lal said.
"Dinesh came to Jhalawar on April 15 and went to Babulal's house with Srinath where the duo strangulated him after attacking him with some heavy object. They dumped the body in a well next day," he said.
Police said Babulal's 17-year-old son also helped them in dumping the body. He later lodged a false FIR saying that his father was missing.
"His son was not aware of the alleged his mother's extra marital affair. Hence, he helped the murderers of his father," the SHO said, adding that the son and the mother have also been detained and are being interrogated.
