Hyderabad: A 21-year-old man was arrested by Kushaiguda police for allegedly murdering his pregnant wife and attempting to cover it up as an accident.
The accused has been identified as Sachin, 21.
According to reports, Sneha was seven months pregnant and had recently reconciled with the accused after a period of separation due to disputes. The couple got married in 2022 and lived in a rented room in Nagarjunanagar, Kushaiguda.
On January 16, Sachin allegedly strangled Sneha with a cloth while she was sleeping causing her and her unborn baby’s death. He then tried to stage a fire by opening a gas cylinder to make it appear accidental. When the victim’s mother discovered the incident she alerted the police.
Based on the complaint, Hyderabad police registered a case of suspicious death against the man. The postmortem confirmed strangulation as the cause of death.
