The crime came to light after the couple's nine-year-old son witnessed the murder and recounted the events to police.

The victim, Viru Jatav, was suffocated to death on the night of June 7. His wife Anita, along with her lover Kashi and four hired men, carried out the crime.

Anita unlocked the house gate to let them in and silently watched as her husband was brutally killed.

Initially reported as a heart attack, the truth emerged after the boy’s statement and CCTV footage confirmed foul play.

DSP Kailash Chand said: "Kashi reportedly paid Rs 2 lakh to the killers. Anita and Kashi have been arrested, while three accused are still on the run."

The crime is a reminder of Raja Raghuvanshi's chilling murder by his wife Sonam, her lover and three other on May 23 when they were on honeymoon in Meghalaya.

Raghuvanshi's mutilated body was found in a deep gorge near a waterfall in Sohra area (also known as Cherrapunji) of East Khasi Hills district on June 2.
