Woman killed in alleged affair between husband and sister, police say

Police in the Kujru police station area of Ramgarh district have solved the murder case of Jeba Parveen, a local woman found dead in recent weeks. According to law enforcement officials, Jeba's husband Ghulam Sarwar, also known as Rajan, and her sister Neha Parveen had developed an illicit romantic relationship, which escalated into a violent confrontation.

Investigators determined that tensions arising from the alleged affair between the brother-in-law and sister-in-law resulted in the decision to kill Jeba. The suspected motive centered on eliminating the obstacle to their relationship, police said.

Both Ghulam Sarwar and Neha Parveen have been taken into police custody following their arrest. The accused have been remanded to judicial custody as the investigation continues. Police said they are gathering evidence to build a strong case against the two suspects before presenting charges before a magistrate.
