Pune Woman Booked For Husband's Murder Plot

A 49-year-old man from Pune has filed a complaint against his wife, alleging she conspired to kill him and his female friend over a property dispute. The woman allegedly offered ₹15 lakh to her nephew to execute the plan and paid him ₹12.5 lakh in instalments.

The couple married in 2006 and have a son, but disputes arose over property matters. In 2023, the man reconnected with a female friend from his college days and left home to stay with his mother.

The case came to light on September 20, 2026, when the man's cousin's son approached him and disclosed details of the purported murder plot. The nephew claimed he had received ₹12.5 lakh in instalments since March 2026 to kill the complainant and his female friend.

The Ambegaon police have registered a case against the woman, but Senior Police Inspector Sharad Zine said the allegations are yet to be established through investigation. The police will take further action according to the findings of the investigation.

The woman allegedly hired private detectives to monitor her husband's movements and had approached other people to carry out the killings before her nephew. The nephew played a mobile phone recording of a conversation with his aunt to the complainant, which led to the complaint being filed.
