Chandigarh: A woman from Haryana has sentenced 30 years imprisonment for brutally murdering her husband and chopping his body into eight pieces.
The bench headed by Additional Sessions Judge H.S. Dahiya sentenced accused Puja of murdering her husband Baljeet, 38, in April last year in Asanda village in Jhajjar district, court sources said on Wednesday.
Police investigations into the case revealed that Puja reportedly killed her husband after he found out about her extramarital affair with another man. The accused was living with her husband in Jajjhar town of Haryana.
The deceased husband’s brother Kuljeet approached the Police on 26 April last year to investigate his missing brother, claiming that Puja has not revealed his brother’s whereabouts when the siblings visited his house.
The sisters were shocked to find Baljeet’s headless body in a suitcase they found suspicious due to foul smell emanating from another room.
It was later that they found that Puja had cut Baljeet into eight pieces and had hidden his body parts at different places in the house. Baljeet’s head was buried under the floor of the house.
The court, however, acquitted four other people involved in the case but held Puja alone for the brutal killing.
