Rajasthan Police Uncover Murder Plot: Wife and Lover Arrested for Staged Hit-and-Run

New Delhi, February 5, 2026: In a chilling revelation that has sent shockwaves through Rajasthan’s Pali district, local authorities have successfully unraveled a complex murder conspiracy disguised as a road accident. What initially appeared to be a tragic hit-and-run incident has been exposed as a cold-blooded execution orchestrated by the victim’s wife and her paramour.

Following a meticulous investigation, the Rajasthan Police have arrested four individuals in connection with the crime, including the victim’s spouse and her lover.

The “Accident” That Raised Suspicions

The incident occurred last week when the victim, identified as Om Prakash, was found dead on a stretch of highway under suspicious circumstances. Initial reports suggested that a speeding vehicle had struck him while he was traveling on his motorcycle, leaving him for dead before fleeing the scene.

However, forensic evidence at the crash site did not align with a standard high-speed collision. Investigators noted several inconsistencies:

• The impact pattern on the motorcycle was unusual.
• The victim’s injuries suggested a targeted strike rather than a glancing blow.
• Lack of skid marks indicated the driver of the mystery vehicle made no attempt to brake.

A Web of Deceit

The breakthrough in the case came through a combination of digital surveillance and local intelligence. Detectives monitoring the victim’s household noticed “unusual behavior” from his wife, Suman (name changed for legal reasons), shortly after the funeral.

Subsequent analysis of call records revealed frequent communication between Suman and a man identified as Rahul, who was eventually revealed to be her long-term lover. Faced with mounting evidence, the suspects were brought in for questioning, where the facade quickly crumbled.

The Execution of the Plot

According to the police, the conspiracy was hatched several months ago. The duo reportedly hired two accomplices—professional drivers—to carry out the actual “hit.”

The timeline of the crime:

1. Surveillance: The accomplices tracked Om Prakash’s daily commute for over a week to identify a blind spot on the highway without CCTV coverage.
2. The Vehicle: A stolen or “borrowed” SUV was used to ensure the victim had no chance of survival upon impact.
3. The Strike: On the night of the murder, the wife alerted the killers when her husband left the house. The SUV then trailed him and rammed him from behind at high speed.

Legal Action and Current Status

The Rajasthan Police have charged the four suspects under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for murder, conspiracy, and destruction of evidence.

Suspect	Role in Crime	Status
Suman	Mastermind / Wife	Under Custody
Rahul	Co-conspirator / Lover	Under Custody
Suspect 3	Hired Driver	Arrested
Suspect 4	Lookout/Accomplice	Arrested

The vehicle used in the commission of the crime has been seized, and the police are currently investigating if any financial transactions occurred between the lovers and the hired help prior to the incident.

This case highlights the increasing proficiency of local police departments in using technical surveillance to solve “perfect crimes.” The accused are expected to be produced in court later this week as the investigation reaches its final stages.
