Nalgonda: A woman allegedly conspired with four persons and killed her husband and tried to pass it off as a road accident to claim insurance money in Khammam district. The victim, Chaganti Ravi, 42, a resident of Gandhi Nagar in Khammam city, was found by the roadside at Muvva Varipalem on March 2.
During investigation, police found that Ravi was deliberately hit by a car as part of a pre-planned murder allegedly orchestrated by his wife Prashanti. Police said the woman had taken an insurance policy one year ago on her husband with a sum assured of ₹64 lakh and allegedly planned the murder to claim the amount. She had taken the policy an year ago in the hope that he would die due to his alcohol addiction. When he did not die even after one year, she plotted the murder.
Khammam Rural circle inspector Mushkaraju said Ravi was taken to Muvva Varipalem by one of the accused, Deshapoina Srinivas, and was offered liquor. After he became inebriated, he was left by the roadside.
According to the plan, the other accused allegedly rammed a car into Ravi while he was walking along the road, killing him. Police arrested Deshapoina Srinivas, Jogi Venkatesh, Jogi Raj Kumar and Jogi Rambabu in connection with the case.
The victim’s wife Prashanti is absconding and efforts are on to trace and arrest her, police said.
