MP Court Sentences Man To Life Imprisonment For Murdering His Wife During COVID Outbreak

The local court in Indore has recently sentenced a 52-years-old man to life imprisonment for murdering his wife and secretly burning the body during the COVID-19 outbreak in MP’s Indore district in 2020.

Depalpur’s Additional Sessions Judge Nilesh Yadav convicted Dilip alias Bhartendu Singh for murder and destruction of evidence.

Singh was found guilty of murdering his wife Sanju Kunwar (37) by strangling her with a rope on August 4, 2020.

Amid the outbreak of COVID-19, Singh killed his wife and took her body to their village crematorium around 6 am and burnt it in the presence of only 5 relatives.

According to the official, after burning the body, Singh told the people of his village that his wife committed suicide by hanging herself in the night.

He stated that due to the age difference between Singh and his wife, there were frequent disputes between the couple and she didn’t want to live with her husband.

Special public prosecutor Shivnath Singh Mavai stated that 20 witnesses were presented in the court to prove Singh’s crime.
