Rakesh Khedekar, accused of killing his wife Gauri and concealing her body in a suitcase, is under police custody in Pune following a failed suicide attempt.
- Gauri Khedekar, 32, was found dead in a suitcase in her Bengaluru residence on March 27, with multiple stab wounds confirmed by forensic analysis.
- Her husband, Rakesh Khedekar, allegedly confessed to the murder to her parents and landlord before fleeing to Pune.
- Rakesh attempted suicide by consuming poison during his escape but was detained by Pune police and is currently hospitalized under police custody.
