Husband confesses to crime after thorough grilling by cops

According to information, the accused has been identified as Ajay Bhargava. Durgavati was his second wife, and since the last few months, their relationship has not gone through a rough patch. The couple would often get into heated arguments over petty things, sometimes over the wife's expenses. Fed up, he decided to murder his wife in the garb of a road accident.

A few days ago, on August 13, Durgavati, along with her brother Sandesh, was going somewhere when his accused husband drove an Eco Sports car at high speed and rammed into their bike.

The accused fled the spot, leaving them bleeding. Locals informed police, and both were admitted to the hospital, where Durgavati died during the treatment.

It was during the police investigation that the husband confessed to the crime and was arrested on Saturday.
