38-Year-Old Married Woman Allegedly Murdered by Lover in Maharashtra's Nagpur

Police said the suspect struck the woman on the head and burned her body after repeated disputes over marriage.

  • Police in Nagpur arrested 33-year-old Javed Sheikh Shahid Manyar on Tuesday for allegedly murdering his 38-year-old lover, Kavita, after authorities claimed he staged the scene to appear as an accidental death.
  • Kavita and Javed had known each other for around 15 years, maintaining a relationship despite both being married. Disputes frequently arose because Kavita pressured him to marry her, according to officials.
  • On Sunday, Javed allegedly hit the woman on the head with a heavy object before reportedly inflicting burns using a room heater, attempting to make the death appear as an accidental electrocution.
  • Following the incident, Javed fled to Jalgaon, where police arrested him on Tuesday. The MIDC police brought him back to Nagpur for further investigation.
  • A court remanded Javed in police custody until October 17. Post-mortem examination revealed a severe head injury, contradicting the family's initial suspicion that she died from an electric shock.
