Cyanide, a 15-Foot Deep Grave, and a Two-Year Lie: How Jamnagar Wife Hid Husband’s Murder

A chilling web of deceit that kept a Jamnagar family in the dark for two straight years has finally unravelled, uncovering a cold-blooded murder disguised as an overseas career opportunity. What began as a prolonged missing person investigation has turned into a grim homicide inquiry after Gujarat Police exposed a plot involving an unfaithful spouse, her lover, and a fatal dose of poison.

The victim, Jignesh Dharmeshbhai Mavdiya, went missing nearly two years ago. For twenty-four months, his wife, Prithvi Mavdiya, maintained a detailed cover story, assuring anxious relatives that Jignesh had moved to Australia for work. She claimed his new employer enforced a strict workplace policy banning mobile phones, explaining why he was completely unreachable for two years.

However, the prolonged mystery began to fracture when Jignesh's brother, Ashok Dharamshibhai Mavdiya, grew increasingly suspicious over the total lack of direct communication. When Ashok insisted on involving the police to locate his brother, the tension forced a dramatic breakthrough in the case.

Cyanide-Laced Liquor and a 15-Foot Deep Grave

Subsequent police interrogation of Prithvi brought the horrific truth to light. Investigators revealed that Prithvi had been carrying on an illicit relationship with Nilesh Mansukhbhai Kashetiya. Eager to eliminate Jignesh from their lives, the pair devised a plan to murder him.

According to preliminary investigative findings, the duo offered Jignesh liquor spiked with deadly sodium cyanide. Once the poison took his life, Prithvi and Nilesh transported his body to a factory premises in the Dared industrial area of Jamnagar. To conceal all evidence, they dug a pit roughly 12 to 15 feet deep and buried the body beneath the ground, setting off the two-year deception.

Forensic Excavation Underway in Dared

Following revelations during interrogation, law enforcement officers rushed to the site in Dared accompanied by forensic experts. Authorities initiated excavation at the location pointed out by the accused to recover human remains and collect vital scientific evidence.

Jamnagar Police are in the process of registering formal charges against both Prithvi Mavdiya and Nilesh Kashetiya under relevant sections for murder and destruction of evidence. The news of a local resident being poisoned and buried under a factory floor while his family was fed lies about an Australian job for two years has sent shockwaves through the region.
