Bengaluru: Bihar Man Arrested for Killing Wife, Dumping Body in Drain
Police said Mohammed Irfaz confessed after more than 10 teams traced the victim through missing-person leads and identified a stolen motorcycle used to dump the body.
- On Thursday, Bengaluru police arrested Mohammed Irfaz, 22, for allegedly murdering his 25-year-old wife, Ruksana, whose decomposed body was discovered in a stormwater drain on October 13, three days after the October 10 killing.
- Married last year, Irfaz and Ruksana were natives of Bihar who relocated to Bengaluru six months ago; police stated the relationship became strained as Irfaz suspected her of infidelity due to frequent phone conversations.
- During a dispute on October 10, Irfaz allegedly struck Ruksana with a stone, killing her on the spot; he then broke a motorcycle lock, placed her body in a bag, and dumped it in the drain.
- Local residents in Gopalapura alerted police to a missing woman, prompting Irfaz's questioning; while he initially claimed Ruksana returned to Bihar, he confessed to the murder during police interrogation.
- The Magadi Road police constituted over 10 teams to conduct door-to-door verifications and cross-reference missing person complaints; officials are continuing their investigation into the murder case.
