'Drishyam'-Style Murder Near Mumbai. Wife Hides Husband's Body Under Tiles
In a chilling case reminiscent of a scene from the Bollywood blockbuster 'Drishyam', a woman in Maharashtra's Palghar district reportedly murdered her husband with the help of her lover and buried his body inside their home. According to the reports, the husband, 35-year-old Vijay Chavan, had been missing for the last 15 days. He lived with his 28-year-old wife Komal Chavan in the Gadgapada area of Nalasopara East, about 70 kilometres from Mumbai. On Monday morning, Vijay's brothers, who had been searching for him, visited his house. There, they realised some floor tiles did not match the colour of the rest. Growing suspicious, they removed the differently-coloured tiles, only to find a vest buried underneath and a foul odour. They immediately informed the police. Their worst fear came true, and cops found their brother's body buried under the tiles. The cops suspect that Vijay Chavan has been murdered by Komal, who has also been missing for two days, along with a neighbour, Monu. The two are allegedly in a romantic relationship and now prime suspects in the case.

Woman Kills Husband With Lover's Help, Hides Body Under Floor In 'Drishyam'-Style Cover-Up
Last Updated: Komal Chavan in Maharashtra allegedly killed her husband Vijay with her lover Monu, burying the body under floor tiles like in "Drishyam." In yet another case of an extramarital affair turning deadly, a woman from Maharashtra allegedly killed her husband with the help of her lover. The accused, instead of disposing of the body of victim Vijay Chavan (35), far from her location, buried it under the floor of a room of her chawl in Sai Welfare Society in Gadagpada, east of Nalasopara, around 70 kilometres from Mumbai. In a chilling twist, Komal Chavan and her lover Monu reportedly laid fresh tiles over the spot in an attempt to cover up the crime, a method strikingly similar to that used by Ajay Devgn's character Vijay Salgaonkar in the crime thriller Drishyam. The case came to the limelight after Chavan's two brothers came looking for him as he had been missing for the past 15 days. When Chavan's brother reached the victim's residence on Monday morning, they found the colours of the tiles in the house looked different, which made them suspicious. So, they removed the tiles, and a foul smell started coming out. They immediately called the police, and the work to remove the tiles began. Komal Chavan told the neighbours that her bathroom was choked up, so she had called people to dig it up, but no one knew what it was for. She has an 8-year-old son with his husband. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
