Overview

• Sushil Kumar, 37, and his 24-year-old wife were arrested for murdering Arun Mahto, a 32-year-old man from Patna, in South Delhi's Maidan Garhi area.
• The couple lured Mahto to a forested area on May 18, where Sushil attacked him with an iron rod, killing him instantly, before discarding his body in the bushes.
• The murder was motivated by Sushil discovering missed calls from Mahto on his wife’s phone, revealing a two-year extramarital affair that began at a family wedding.
• A missing person’s report filed by Mahto’s brother on May 21 led to the discovery of the decomposed body the following day near Maidangarhi Talab.
• Police solved the case using CCTV footage, technical surveillance, and forensic recovery, seizing the murder weapon, blood-stained clothing, and the victim’s belongings.
