HYDERABAD: A woman and her husband, who are natives of Uttar Pradesh, were arrested by Jeedimetla police on Friday on the charges of murdering a woman a few days ago.
Jeedimetla police said Pooja married Rajesh in Jharkhand a few months ago and shifted to Hyderabad. Prior to his marriage, Rajesh used to take shelter by sharing a room with a married couple -- Sanjeeth Yadav and Rinku Yadav. Rajesh allegedly developed illegal intimacy with Rinku before getting married to Pooja.
To maintain his relationship, Rajesh voluntarily took the responsibility of meeting the monthly expenses of the couple.
Sanjeeth and Rinku felt that if they eliminate Pooja, Rajesh will again share a room with them and take care of their expenses.
In the absence of Rajesh, the accused couple smothered Pooja to death and later claimed that two unidentified persons came and killed Pooja.
