Tragic Love Story: Man Arrested for Murdering His Married Lover in Jalaun

Incident Overview

In Jalaun, Uttar Pradesh, a man has been apprehended on charges of 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 attempts to reason with her, she remained adamant, leading to a tragic outcome.

Discovery of the Body

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

Background of the Victim and Suspect

The incident took place in the village of Dakor, where Pushpa Tiwari, aged 30, was married to Rishi Tiwari since 2016 and was a mother of two. She had been pursuing a BSc degree but had to discontinue her studies due to her children. Abhishek Srivastava, 32, who lived in the same village, was tutoring Pushpa's children, which led to their illicit relationship 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 intensified. He claimed he never promised to be with her, but her persistent demands to run away together frustrated him, ultimately leading him to decide to kill her.

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 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 had 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. Despite initial difficulties in locating him, 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.
