A migrant woman from Bihar was allegedly murdered by her husband at their rented home on the outskirts of Bengaluru, with the crime going unnoticed for nearly five days. The body was discovered only after a foul smell from the house raised suspicion among the woman’s colleague and neighbours, police said on Thursday.
The deceased has been identified as Reema Kumari, while her husband, Dheeraj Kumar, is the prime accused. The incident took place under the Kumbalagodu Police Station limits near the Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway.
Body found wrapped in bedsheet
According to police, Reema had not reported to work for several days. Concerned about her absence, a colleague visited her home on Thursday and noticed a foul smell coming from inside.
The house owner was alerted and the door was opened, following which Reema’s decomposed body was found wrapped in a bedsheet near the toilet.
Preliminary investigation suggests that she may have been killed on Sunday, around four to five days before the body was discovered.
Husband suspected to have fled to Bihar
Police suspect Dheeraj killed his wife and fled to his native place in Bihar soon afterwards. A manhunt has been launched to trace and arrest him.
The couple had moved from Bihar to Bengaluru about a year ago in search of work and were employed at a factory near Gerupalya. Residents told police that the two had a love marriage and described them as friendly.
Reema’s body has been shifted to a mortuary for post-mortem examination. Police are examining CCTV footage from nearby areas and gathering evidence to establish the motive behind the killing.
Further investigation is underway.
