Bengaluru: The decomposing body of a woman was found in a drain on the outskirts of Karnataka’s capital Bengaluru. A few days after the incident, police arrested the woman’s husband from Bihar on charges of murder, officials said on Friday. He said that 39-year-old accused Mohammad Naseem, who works as a painter by profession, has been arrested from Muzaffarpur. The police said that the incident took place on November 11 in Sarjapur police station area.
‘Fights used to happen over small things’
According to the police, Naseem and his 22-year-old second wife Rumesh Khatoon used to quarrel with each other over petty matters. His relationship was strained as Naseem and Rumesh were suspicious of his wife. Police said that because of such things, Naseem decided to get rid of his wife. After strangling Rumesh to death, Naseem tied his hands and feet with wire and threw his body in a drain, a senior official said. He said that after killing his wife, he fled to his native Muzaffarpur in Bihar along with his six children.
‘He fled to Bihar with 6 children’
According to the police, the incident came to light after a week when locals informed the police about the stench coming from the drain. The police later found the woman’s decomposed body, after which it was taken for post-mortem. The official said that during the investigation, after the body was identified, it came to light that the deceased woman’s husband was missing and had run away with her six children. Naseem had 4 children from her first marriage and 2 from her second marriage to Rumesh Khatun.
The police caught the accused in this way
Investigators traced the accused to Muzaffarpur using technical evidence and mobile phone ‘location’, police said. Surprisingly, the accused got married for the third time just a few days after reaching Muzaffarpur and before he was caught by the police. A case has been registered against the accused and he was arrested from Muzaffarpur last week in connection with the murder, police said.
