While initial reports suggested Amit succumbed to multiple snake bites, the post-mortem report revealed that the actual cause of death was strangulation.

As investigation intensified, Amit’s wife, Ravita, broke down and confessed to a conspiracy hatched with her lover, Amardeep who was Amit’s friend.

SP Dehat Rakesh Kumar Mishra said, “Ravita had an extramarital affair with Amardeep, who was a friend of her husband. When Amit learned of their relationship, it led to regular disputes between him and his wife.”

To eliminate her husband and avoid suspicion, Ravita orchestrated a twisted murder plot. She bought a venomous snake for Rs 1,000, strangled Amit in his sleep, and then kept the snake under his corpse to create the illusion of a deadly snakebite.

During questioning, both Ravita and Amardeep confessed to their roles in the crime.
