During the investigation, the police took three of the accused into custody, who later confessed to the crime, ASP Rawat said. "Jitendra had become aware of an extramarital relationship between Pushpa, the wife of Kaushal, and Shobharam Maurya. Jitendra had confronted Shobharam about the affair, making derogatory remarks and, in recent days, had even started visiting Kaushal's home with the intention of getting closer to Pushpa," the officer said.

"Pushpa and her lover Shobharam found Jitendra's actions intolerable and began plotting his murder. Pushpa further incited her husband Kaushal, against Jitendra. On August 9, upon learning that Jitendra would be visiting Dhaneepur market, Shobharam, Kaushal and Pushpa conspired to eliminate him," he said. 'Threesome' Goes Horribly Wrong After Husband Catches Estranged Wife With Two Other Men in Objectionable Position in Kasganj Hotel in UP, Thrashes All of Them; Video Goes Viral.

Two days later, Jitendra's body was found. ASP Rawat confirmed that the three named suspects -- ?Shobharam Maurya, Pushpa, and Kaushal Chauhan' -- were arrested and sent to jail. The police said they are currently searching for Janak Ram and an unidentified person who were also named in the FIR.
