Shraddha case redux: Lover's role suspected

THE murder of a woman in Bengaluru has shocked the city not only for its ghastly nature, but also for the fact that it is quite similar to the chilling murder of Shraddha Walkar in the national capital last year.

Hemant Das, the estranged husband of Mahalakshmi whose body was chopped into pieces and was stuffed into a refrigerator said his wife had an illicit relationship and he suspected her paramour's role in the cold-blooded murder.
