He told that his wife had died three years ago, after which he lived with Ramkumari. She repeatedly pressurized him to leave his house and live here. He was upset with her pressure because he also had his own children at home.

Due to this, he planned to murder Ramkumari. On June 8, he brought Ramkumari on a bike towards Katghora on the pretext of taking her for a ride. Accused Manbodh bought liquor from Sarvamangal’s liquor distillery. Both of them came and sat at the spot and started drinking. During this time, a dispute broke out between the two about living together. Manbodh was already looking for an opportunity to murder. He strangled Ramkumari with a towel, which caused her death. He took out Ramkumari’s gold and silver jewellery and also kept her mobile with him. After this, to hide the identity of the dead body, he took out petrol from his bike and set the body on fire. The accused was arrested and presented in the court, from where he has been sent to jail.
