A tragic tale of marital betrayal unfolded as Laxmi Devi and her lover, Jitendra Sharma, found themselves in police custody over the murder of Laxmi's husband, Hansram, in Kheirathal Tijara district. The duo's plan to cover their affair ended with a shocking crime.

Police officers apprehended Devi and Sharma at a brick kiln in Alwada village, Alwar district. During interrogation, they confessed to plotting and executing the murder on August 15. Hansram's body was discovered inside a blue plastic drum on the roof of their rented home.

This incident mirrored another macabre event in Meerut earlier in the year, where a merchant navy officer's body was similarly disposed of, underscoring a disturbing continuity in instances of marital violence.
