Three days after a 46-year-old woman and her lover were arrested for allegedly killing her husband, a textile businessman, in Santacruz, it has emerged that in October, the woman’s lover tried to divert the focus of the investigation by faking his own kidnapping, police said. Kavita Shah and her lover Hitesh Jain allegedly killed her husband Kamalkant (46) by mixing arsenic and thallium in his food.
According to police, Jain, who was being interrogated in the case, feared he could be arrested and tried to mislead investigators by claiming that he was kidnapped, assaulted and abandoned on Nashik road at Shahapur by unknown persons.
“Jain was admitted to hospital. He had injuries all over his body. But later during questioning, he kept changing his statement. We found out that those were self-inflicted injuries,” senior police inspector Rajkumar Upase of Shahapur police station said.
Three people were booked under the charges of gangrape, criminal intimidation and assault after a 42-year-old woman alleged that the trio barged into her house and raped her.
The woman in her statement has alleged that the accused also attacked her with sharp objects and inflicted burn injuries on her body. As per the statement, the incident took place on Wednesday morning when the three allegedly barged into her house. “The woman claimed that three abused her and raped her one after the other. They also videographed the incident and threatened her from going to the police,” police said.
