Anuppur (MP): Woman kills husband, buries him under kitchen slab

A bizarre incident has come to the fore in Madhya Pradesh's Anuppur district where a 32-year-old woman has been accused of killing her husband, burying him under the kitchen slab where she managed to hide the body for over a month.

It all started a month back when advocate Mahesh Banawal, 35, was reported missing from his house at Karondi village on October 22.

Following a complaint by Mahesh Banawal's wife Pramila, the police registered a missing person complaint.

The case, however, took a major twist on November 21 when a perturbed elder brother of Mahesh approached the police.

It was Arjun Banawal's suspicion that helped police crack the case.

The victim's brother told police that after his brother went missing, he and other family members tried to visit his home, only to be turned away by his wife Pramila.

"We have tried to go to our brother's house several times in the past one month but every time his wife turns us away hurling abuses at us while holding us responsible for Mahesh's disappearance," Arjun told the police.

Following Arjun's statement, a police team was sent to the village on Thursday - to be welcomed by a foul smell from the house.

"Once we realised that the foul smell was coming from inside the house, the entire place was searched. Finally, we zeroed on the kitchen slab as the source," said SHO Amarkantak Bhanu Pratap Singh.

The digging began and the police found a decomposed body from under the kitchen slab - the same place which Pramila had used for cooking for over a month.

Misuse of dowry law lands woman, relatives in trouble

Attempts by a woman and her relatives to implicate her husband in a false dowry and maintenance case landed them in their own net.

According to CSP Hemant Tiwari, Ashish, an engineer, of Shivpuri got married to Nidhi of Gwalior a few years ago. But their relationship got estranged within a few months and the couple got separated. Later, Nidhi and her relatives slapped a dowry and domestic violence case against Ashish, alleging that he had taken several lakhs of rupees in dowry and forcibly kept her jewellery.

In order to make the case strong, Nidhi and her relatives obtained a false marriage certificate from the Municipal Corporation and submitted it in the court. On hearing about it Ashish made enquiries through RTI and found out that the marriage certificate is a bogus one.

Harassed Ashish filed a retaliatory complaint with the police against Nidhi and her relatives. A case has also been registered against the Notary and the stamp vendor who sold the stamp paper. During enquiry, the police found that the vendor had made no entry in the register about the sale of the stamp paper.

Conceding that many women were misusing dowry laws to settle scores with their husbands, the Supreme Court had earlier laid down certain guidelines for the Police to be followed during investigations in dowry related complaints and harassments.
