Mumbai, August 13: Sana Khan, the leader of the BJP's minority front in Nagpur, had reportedly put Rs 5 lakh in cash and another Rs 2 lakh worth of gold ornaments in the business of her husband Amit Shahu, who also happens to be the main suspect in her murder.

According to the officials at Mankapur police station, this was discovered when Shahu was detained and questioned by the city police. They also suggested that a disagreement over a financial investment might have been one of the murder's motivations. Chhattisgarh Shocker: Husband Murders Wife, Chops Body Into Multiple Pieces and Dumped Into Water Tank in Bilaspur; Arrested.
