Man kills pregnant wife over not getting money from in-laws, hid body under bed in North 24 pgs

In a bone-chilling incident in the Leningarh area of Ghola, a pregnant woman named Pooja Mandal was allegedly murdered by her husband, Rishi Harichand, on Wednesday morning. The tragedy reportedly unfolded after a dispute over money, a demand that Harichand had been consistently making from his wife and in-laws for a long time. When Pooja refused to provide the requested funds, the situation turned fatal, leading to a frantic search by her concerned family members.

According to family sources, Pooja’s relatives grew suspicious when she failed to answer multiple phone calls throughout the morning. Driven by worry, they visited the couple's residence in Peyarabagan, only to find the door unlocked and the house eerily quiet. Upon entering and searching the premises, they were horrified to discover Pooja’s body wrapped and stashed away under the bed. The Ghola Police Station was immediately notified of the discovery.

Preliminary investigations suggest that Rishi Harichand strangled his pregnant wife with a piece of cloth before hiding her remains to evade detection. The police acted swiftly upon arrival, recovering the body and conducting an initial sweep of the crime scene. They have since arrested the accused husband, Rishi, along with his mother-in-law, as part of the ongoing investigation into the premeditated killing and the alleged history of domestic extortion.
