Bengaluru, August 12: A woman and her lover were spending private time together when her husband unexpectedly caught them in the act at their home in Hagadur near Whitefield in Bengaluru. The couple reportedly used a USB cable to strangle him, causing his death. Initially, they attempted to pass off the murder as an accident, claiming the husband lost consciousness after a fall. However, police suspicions were aroused due to the marks on the husband's throat, leading to their arrest.

As per a Times of India report, the accused, identified as 32-year-old Tejaswini and her 34-year-old lover Gajendra Babu, both EMI collectors at private finance, were caught in a compromising situation by Tejaswini's husband, Mahesh, and an auto-rickshaw driver at their residence in Hagadur on August 9. In a desperate attempt to conceal their affair, Tejaswini and Babu used a USB cable to strangle Mahesh. Bengaluru Shocker: Cops Argue Who Will Take Accident Victim to Hospital as Man Lies on Road Bleeding, Probe Launched Against Policemen After Video Goes Viral.
