Police exhumed the body of a 22-year-old woman, suspected to have been killed by her Income Tax inspector husband, from the premises of his rented accommodation in Harni area here, city Police Commissioner Manoj Sashidhar said today.
"The body was found buried in a six-feet deep trench on the premises of the IT inspector's rented house here. It was exhumed yesterday," he said.
The postmortem of the body would be conducted in Jaipur, the police commissioner said.
The income tax inspector, Lokesh Chaudhary (30), posted in Vadodara, was arrested for allegedly killing his 28-year-old wife and burying her body over his affair with another woman, police had said.
"Lokesh Chaudhary (30) called his wife (28) to Vadodara from Jaipur on April 11 and killed her. He later buried her body. A team reached Vadodara today to exhume the body," Additional DCP (Jaipur East) Hanuman Prasad had said yesterday.
The accused had filed a missing complaint of his wife with the Jaipur police to evade suspicion on him. But he later confessed to killing the woman with the help of an aide, according to the officer.
Hailing from Alwar, Chaudhary got married in February last. His wife was studying in Jaipur. The accused developed a relationship with another woman, also hailing from Alwar, who pressurised him to divorce his wife, the police had said.
