Bengaluru, March 25: In a shocking incident, a 19-year-old woman allegedly murdered her 37-year-old husband with the help of her mother in Bengaluru. The crime, reportedly fueled by years of harassment and extramarital affairs, unfolded on the outskirts of the city. The duo laced his food with sedatives while he consumed beer inside his car in Bengaluru’s Chikkabanavara area on March 22. Once he was drowsy, they brutally attacked him, slitting his throat with a knife. The body was later discovered in an abandoned car, leading to the arrest of the woman and her mother.

According to an NDTV report, the victim, identified as Loknath Singh, was a real estate businessman who had married the accused, Yashasvini Singh, four months ago despite her family's opposition.
