Meerut: A man connived with a doctor to eliminate his wife, a government school teacher, in an attempt to claim an insurance amount of Rs 50 lakh. They gave the wife sleeping pills, smothered her with a pillow and stored the body in a freezer for a day.
An image of the doctor choking his wife with a pillow has now sent the duo behind the bars. The image was apparently clicked by the man himself.
According to the police, the incident took place on February 20 in Meerut where Sanjay Luthra, 42, a businessman, had hatched a plot to eliminate his wife Chanda, 40, and connived with a doctor who owed Rs 1.35 lakh to Luthra.
Luthra allegedly agreed to waive off the debt if the doctor killed his wife.
Inspector Ram Sanjeevan of crime branch, whose team was investigating the case, said, "Though he was given a clean chit by the local Nauchandi Thana, we continued the probe and took custody of Sanjay Luthra`s mobile phone and recovered a few deleted pictures -- one of which showed a woman being smothered with a pillow."
