Ex-live-in partner, husband held for killing Jind businessman in UP, say police

Police arrested Sapna Rani and her husband Mohit Malik for the murder of Jind businessman Vijendra Mor, 52.

The murder motive was a multi-crore land dispute and personal differences, including Mor's alleged threats after Sapna ended their live-in relationship.

Mor was abducted on May 4 from his tubewell near Rinia village in Uttar Pradesh and later killed.

His body was burned with nearly 40 litres of diesel in Kupara forest in Hamirpur district to destroy evidence.

The accused, each with a ₹50,000 reward, were arrested from a farmhouse in Jalaun district, UP.
