Wife and Her Lover Caught After Missing Husband’s Body Found in Hapur

A woman and her lover were caught by Ghaziabad Police for killing her husband and throwing his body near Hapur Road about two weeks ago.

Police said the man who died was Yogesh (31) from Sahibabad. His wife Pooja (27) and her lover Aashish (31) have been arrested.

As per Assistant Police Commissioner Shweta Kumari Yadav, Yogesh left home on September 24 after getting a phone call but never came back. On October 2, Pooja went to the Link Road police station and said her husband was missing.

Later, on October 8, police found a dead body near Saraswati Medical College in Pilkhuwa, Hapur. The body was later confirmed to be Yogesh’s.

Officers found injury marks on his head. After checking his phone records, they saw that his last calls were with Pooja and Aashish. When police questioned Pooja, her answers did not match, which made them suspicious.

After being questioned further, Pooja and Aashish confessed to the murder. Police said the two had been in a relationship for around three years. When Yogesh came to know about it, he often fought with Pooja. Because of this, the two planned to kill him.

On September 24, Pooja called Yogesh and asked him to come near the college. Aashish came there with his friends Chandrapal and Praveen. When Yogesh reached, they attacked him with a sharp weapon and killed him on the spot.

They left his body and motorcycle there. Later, Aashish and Chandrapal threw Yogesh’s phone into the bushes. Pooja went back home and acted as if she didn’t know anything about his whereabouts.

Police caught Pooja and Aashish on Saturday near Kisan Chowk, Gaur City, Greater Noida West. Yogesh’s phone was found with Aashish.

Police are still checking the role of Chandrapal and Praveen in the case.
