Scared after chilling Meerut murder, UP man gets wife married to lover ‘to avoid potential harm’
India news | Trending | According to the villagers, when his suspicions were confirmed, he did not berate or argue with her. Instead, he informed the village elders of the affair and decided that she should marry her lover.
Following recent incidents of a woman and her lover killing husbands, a man from Uttar Pradesh got his wife married to her lover.
This comes days after the chilling murder of a man by his wife and her lover, who chopped up his body and dumped it in a cement-lined drum in Uttar Pradesh's Meerut. In another similar incident, a couple hired a contract killer in Auraiya to kill a man. Scared after these incidents, Bablu, from Katar Jot Village in Sant Kabir Nagar, got his wife wedded to her lover of 18 months and even witnessed the marriage to avoid any such incident.
Bablu married Radhika, who is from Gorakhpur district, in 2017. The couple have two children together. Bablu, who works in another state as a labourer, discovered her wife’s nearly a year-long affair with Vikas, who lives in his village, reported NDTV.
Following this, he returned to the village without her knowledge and began tracking her to confirm the affair.
