Incident Overview

In Jalaun, Uttar Pradesh, a man has been apprehended for allegedly murdering his married girlfriend. The suspect reportedly killed her due to her insistence on living together, which he was unwilling to accept, especially since he did not want to take responsibility for her and her two children. Despite multiple discussions, when she refused to relent, he decided to end her life.

Discovery of the Body

On June 7, an unidentified body was discovered in Bhimtal Lake, Nainital. The deceased was later identified as Pushpa Tiwari from Jalaun. Following this, the Nainital police informed their counterparts in Jalaun, who began searching for the suspect. Recently, they successfully apprehended Abhishek Srivastava, the alleged murderer.

Background of the Victim and Suspect

The incident took place in Dakor village, where Pushpa Tiwari, aged 30, was married to Rishi Tiwari in 2016. She was a mother of two and had paused her BSc studies due to family responsibilities. Abhishek Srivastava, 32, who lived in the same village, was tutoring Pushpa's children, which led to their affair over two years, unbeknownst to her husband, who was preoccupied with farming.

Confession of the Accused

During police interrogation, Abhishek revealed that he initially had minimal interaction with Pushpa while tutoring her children. However, their relationship gradually deepened. He claimed he never promised to be with her, but her persistent demands to run away together became overwhelming, prompting him to plot her murder.

On May 27, he lured Pushpa to Delhi. After a few days, when he suggested she return home, she refused. On May 30, he took her for a trip to Uttarakhand, where he intoxicated her with alcohol in a hotel room. Later, while sitting near Bhimtal Lake, he pushed her into the water while she was inebriated and returned to Delhi.

Police Investigation

According to Shailendra Bajpai, the Circle Officer of Jalaun, Rishi Tiwari filed a missing person report for his wife, whose body was found on June 6 in Bhimtal. Following the discovery, Rishi implicated Abhishek, leading to a manhunt. When the suspect could not be located, a reward of ₹25,000 was announced for information leading to his capture. Ultimately, on July 8, Abhishek was arrested based on a tip-off, where he confessed that Pushpa's persistent behavior led him to commit the crime.
