Jaipur Woman, Lover Arrested For Murdering Her Husband, Watched TV Show 'CID' To Get Ideas
Jaipur Police arrested a woman and her lover for killing her husband. The murder plot was inspired by crime shows like CID. In a chilling case reported from Rajasthan's Jaipur, a woman allegedly killed her husband with the help of her lover and dumped the body near a football ground. This is the second such incident reported from Rajasthan in a couple of days. Earlier this month, 35-year-old Manoj Kumar Raigar's body was found, his throat was slit. In the preliminary investigation, police could not find anything substantial. As per a report by India Today, on investigating the CCTV footage, Manoj was seen sitting in an E-rickshaw along with another man. On investigating this angle, police focused on Rishi Srivastava, the victim's friend and his wife's lover. Upon being questioned, Rishi confessed and told the police that he conspired with the two men to kill Manoj. The accused used different SIM cards to orchestrate the murder. Both the wife and her lover are now arrested. In another case reported from Jaipur on Tuesday, a woman and her lover were arrested in connection with the murder of her husband in Kheirathal Tijara district. As per the police, Laxmi Devi, the wife of Hansram, and her lover Jitendra Sharma, the son of the married couple's landlord, were held Monday night after being absconding. After killing the husband, the duo dumped his body in a plastic tank. They absconded and after being caught, they confessed to the crime during questioning. The incident that took place in the Kishangarhbas Police Station area came to light on Sunday. Superintendent of Police Manish Chaudhary said the two were detained from a brick kiln in Alwada village of Alwar district. 'Initial investigations indicate that Laxmi and Jitendra plotted the murder in a bid to conceal their affair. The victim, Hansram, was killed on the night of August 15. The body was later found inside a blue plastic drum on the roof of their rented accommodation," SP was quoted as saying by PTI. Laxmi had borrowed the drum from her landlord, saying she needed it to store water. view comments First Published: August 20, 2025, 10:17 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Vigilance judge rules Chief Minister has no legal standing to interfere in anti-corruption inquiries
The Left Democratic Front (LDF) government appeared to have suffered a legal and political setback after a special court ruled here on Thursday that the Chief Minister has no legal standing to interfere in anti-corruption inquiries. Inquiry Commissioner and Special Judge, Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (VACB), Thiruvananthapuram, A Manoj, slammed the VACB's contention that its legally disputed preliminary inquiry report exculpating former Additional Director General of Police, Law and Order, M.R. Ajith Kumar, from charges of illegal amassment of wealth, had the Chief Minister's approval. The judge, somewhat scathingly, ruled that the VACB's testimony had no standing in a court of law and contravened the basic principles of jurisprudence. 'What is the role of the so-called Constitutional dignitaries in the inquiry initiated against the high-ranking police officer? It is a fact that the Vigilance department falls under the control of the Chief Minister of the State; it is solely for governance and nothing more. Whether a person has committed an offence, whether an allegation would disclose the commission of a cognisable offence, is to be decided based on the statutory principles and does not depend on the approval of the political executive. Nobody has the right to interfere in the inquiry, whether at the initial stage or the conclusion,' the judge wrote. Mr. Manoj noted pointedly that the complainant, P. Nagaraj, a lawyer and public interest litigant, had testified in court that persons holding high political office and top bureaucrats had conspired to derail the anti-corruption probe. Notably, Mr. Nagaraj had named Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's political secretary, P. Sasi, as one of the respondents in his petition. The court termed the VACB's 'clean chit' to Mr Ajith Kumar as unacceptable. Mr. Manoj observed that the court did not have the power to order the Director, VACB, to register a case against Mr. Ajith Kumar and other respondents and investigate 'the offence punishable under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 (amended in 2018). Nevertheless, the judge wrote that section 223 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, empowered the court to examine the complainant and the respondents under oath to hear their case before 'taking cognisance of the anti-corruption charge'. Mr. Manoj said the court had enough proof on record to conduct such an investigation. Moreover, the judge noted that the State Police Chief's investigation into the imputations against Mr. Ajith Kumar had 'prima facie disclosed that the allegations have a vigilance angle in the form of misappropriation and corruption, attracting the provisions of the anti-corruption law'.
