Aurangabad, Bihar, INDIA: A man was brutally murdered by his wife and her lover in Bihar’s Aurangabad district under the guise of a medical trip, police confirmed on Saturday, 28 June 2025.

The victim, identified as Biku Kumar alias Mukesh, a resident of Lala Amuna village under Daudnagar police station, was allegedly lured by his wife, Puja Kumari, on the pretext of seeking medical treatment in Gaya. However, the journey turned fatal on their return when Puja and her lover, Kamlesh Yadav, allegedly ran him over with a Scorpio SUV near a deserted stretch of road in Jhikatiya village under the Bandeya police station jurisdiction.

According to police sources, the crime was initially reported as a road accident after Biku’s body was recovered near a canal in Jhikatiya on June 22. A case was registered against unknown persons as the circumstances appeared suspicious. However, during investigation, inconsistencies in Puja's statements raised red flags, leading to her arrest.

“Puja Kumari confessed during interrogation that she was in a long-term relationship with Kamlesh Yadav, a resident of Karmamasud village under Rafiganj police station. Her husband had become an obstacle in their affair. Together, they conspired to eliminate him,” said Daudnagar SDPO Kumar Rishiraj.

Police said Puja took Biku to a private hospital located near the Dobhi bypass in Gaya for treatment. Kamlesh was already present there. The trio later proceeded to Chandauti village in Serfiganj in a Scorpio vehicle. At some point, Puja pretended to visit a clinic, and then, with Kamlesh, allegedly crushed her husband to death with the SUV, staging it as an accident.

Despite initially pretending to grieve over her husband’s death, Puja’s deception was exposed as police uncovered details pointing to premeditated murder. She was arrested from her home and later remanded to judicial custody. Kamlesh Yadav remains absconding, and police are conducting raids to trace him.

The case took a darker turn as the victim’s family revealed disturbing details. According to statements from Biku’s mother, son, and uncle, Kamlesh frequently entered their home, locked the family members in a room, and forced himself upon Puja. He allegedly threatened the family with dire consequences if they revealed anything to the authorities. Fearing for their safety, the family remained silent.

Puja Kumari is the mother of four children — three daughters and a son. The family, still in shock, is demanding justice for the brutal murder. Meanwhile, the investigation continues, and police are hopeful of arresting the absconding accused soon.
