A man in Karnataka, whose death was originally reported as a heart attack, was found to have been smothered, according to police. This revelation came after authorities exhumed his body nearly a month after his passing.

Investigation Details

The investigation began when inconsistencies in the initial cause of death were noted. After the body was exhumed, forensic examinations revealed that the man had been suffocated. Police have since arrested his wife and her lover, who are suspected of planning and executing the crime.
