BHOPAL: Unemployed husband kills wife who was appointed as sub-divisional magistrate. The incident happened last day in Madhya Pradesh. Manish Sharma is the one who killed his wife Nisha after she got the job. After the murder, he tried to destroy the evidence too. Nisha was appointed in Shahpura in Dindori district. The murder was done by suffocation with a pillow.

According to the police, the reason for the murder was enmity over Nisha not selecting Manish Sharma as a nominee in her service book, insurance or bank account. The statement of Nisha's sister Nilima that Manish had harassed Nisha for money was crucial in the case investigation.

Nilima testified that her sister was not suffering from any illness and Nisha had told about Manish harassing her for money. The sister informed the police that Manish did not allow even the house staff to enter Nisha's room.

Manish and Nisha met through a matrimonial site. They got married in 2020. Nilima also says that even their close relatives were not informed about the marriage. Manish, 45, was arrested on charges of murder and destruction of evidence.

Manish took Nisha's body to the hospital after murdering her and said that his wife was suffering from kidney disease. The police had reached the hospital because the one who died was a senior official. Feeling inconsistency in Manish's statements, the police proved the crime of murder on the basis of the sister's statement.
