Meerut wife and lover accused of murdering husband with snake
In Meerut, police are investigating the alleged murder of Atul Panwar by his wife, Damini, and her lover. Coverage indicates the wife researched snakebites online for a year before the incident. The plan allegedly involved sedating Panwar with sleeping pills in his milk and then introducing a venomous snake into his room. Panwar reportedly told his mother before his death that Damini could have him killed and that staying with her was a compulsion. The alleged motive appears to be a love affair between Damini and another man, identified as Tushar.
