A shocking incident surfaced from Dhar, nearly 60 kilometers away from the main city area. Moreover, this case reminded many of the Indore Raja Raghuvanshi case instantly. Meanwhile, Priyanka killed her husband for her lover and misled police initially. Furthermore, events from April 7 night left locals disturbed and deeply shaken.
Murder Disguised As Robbery Plan
Chilli trader Devkrishna Purohit was murdered brutally inside his house that same night. However, Priyanka informed police that unknown criminals entered and attacked her husband violently. Additionally, she claimed attackers tied her and looted gold, silver jewellery, and cash. Therefore, scattered household items made the incident appear like a robbery at first glance.
Investigation Raises Doubts Quickly
Under SP Mayank Awasthi, ASP Parul Belapurkar and SDOP Vishwadeep Singh Parihar began investigation immediately. Meanwhile, several clues did not match the robbery theory presented earlier. Furthermore, fingerprint experts, dog squad, and cyber cell examined evidence carefully. Consequently, call records analysis shifted suspicion directly towards Priyanka during investigation.
Confession Exposes Hidden Relationship
During psychological questioning, Priyanka eventually broke down and confessed her crime openly. Moreover, she revealed a long-standing relationship with Kamlesh Purohit from Rajgarh. Therefore, both planned the murder together to remove her husband permanently. Additionally, Kamlesh gave one lakh rupees to Surendra Bhati for executing the killing.
Staged Crime Scene And Family Reaction
After murder, accused scattered items to create robbery appearance and mislead investigation teams. Meanwhile, Devkrishna’s family remains devastated and continues mourning his sudden death. Furthermore, his mother Laxmibai and sister Jyoti shared details about their troubled marriage. They said disputes occurred often due to Priyanka’s behaviour and habits.
Arrests Made While One Accused Remains Missing
Police arrested Priyanka and her lover Kamlesh soon after confession and evidence confirmation. However, co-accused Surendra Bhati remains absconding, while police teams continue searching actively. Meanwhile, family demanded death penalty for accused, seeking strict justice in this case.
