Constable kills wife, pretends it to be suicide

Wednesday, 20 March 2019 | Staff Reporter | JAGDALPUR

A CoBRA constable killed his wife after she reportedly tried to stop him from going to election duty and later tried to make it look like a suicide, police said here on Tuesday.

The constable has been arrested for the crime.

“Constable Guruveer Singh who lived with his wife in the headquarters of CRPF’s 201 CoBRA battalion had strangled his wife Anupriya Gautam at his government quarters,” Jagdalpur city superintendent of police (CSP), Hemsagar Sidar informed.

The CSP said the constable strangulated his wife on March 16 after the couple had a heated argument over Guruveer Singh going for an election duty.

After committing the murder Singh informed Nagarnar police that his wife had committed suicide.

However, the post-mortem report and evidences gathered during investigation punched hole in Guruveer Singh’s claim and so he was subjected to thorough interrogation.

During interrogation he confessed to the crime, the CSP mentioned.

He was booked under Section 302 (Murder) and 201 (Causing disappearance of evidence of offence) of Indian Penal Code (IPC). He has been sent to jail on judicial remand, police said.
