As police dug deeper, a buried secret began to surface.

Preeti, originally from Muradnagar in Ghaziabad, had met Brijmohan years ago while staying with her maternal grandparents near Gopipura. Despite coming from different religions, they fell in love and married against her family’s wishes. Preeti even drugged her mother with sleeping pills mixed into lassi to escape and marry Brijmohan. Her mother died shortly after. Still, Preeti never returned home.

For eight years, the couple seemed content. They had a daughter together. But beneath the surface, things were far from perfect.

Police checked Preeti’s phone records and uncovered a disturbing pattern—frequent calls and WhatsApp messages to a young man named Saurabh. Saurabh wasn’t just any acquaintance. He was Brijmohan’s own nephew, his sister’s son. Further investigation revealed the truth—Preeti and Saurabh were having an affair.

Saurabh often visited the house, even when Brijmohan wasn’t around. Their chats were personal, intimate, and sometimes vulgar. It was clear—this wasn’t just a casual fling. It was something far deeper, far more dangerous.

Surveillance footage revealed Saurabh trailing Brijmohan the night of his murder, walking the same path toward the water cooler. That was the final piece of the puzzle. The suspicion became certainty.

A manhunt for Saurabh began. He fled but left behind his phone, which further confirmed the affair. Eventually, police caught him—and under interrogation, he confessed.

The story he told was chilling.

He and Preeti had been involved for months. They both knew Brijmohan stood in the way. So, they decided to remove him. That night, Saurabh followed his uncle and attacked him, delivering fatal blows to the head, and left him to die in the dirt.

Preeti stayed home, pretending to know nothing, hiding behind a mask of indifference.

This was no ordinary crime. It was a slow-burning betrayal. A story of love turned rotten, of trust shattered by lust, and of a family destroyed from within.

In the quiet village of Gopipura, where relationships once meant everything, one woman and one man proved just how dangerous hidden desires can be.
