Overview
- Bhind police detained Ruby, 23, and her partner Vishal Vimal after the April 8 shooting death of her husband, Nilesh Jatav, and they say a third suspect is still on the run.
- Investigators say she dropped her bag at a pre-set spot to make the motorcycle stop, which allowed the waiting attackers to shoot him and make it look like a robbery.
- Officers say the questioning pointed to a seven-year affair kept alive over WhatsApp, and they believe she saw her husband as an obstacle to the relationship.
- Police reported seizing a country-made 12-bore pistol, empty cartridges, an unregistered motorcycle, and mobile phones linked to the case.
- Officials have linked the Bhind case to a similar recent incident reported in Dhar district, suggesting a small pattern of spouse killings plotted with lovers in Madhya Pradesh.
