Man Discovers Wife’s Affair With Tenant, Buries Him Alive In 7-Foot Pit: Cops

Having discovered that his tenant was having an affair with his wife, a man in Haryana’s Rohtak took the help of his friends to kidnap him and then bury him alive in a 7-foot deep pit in a field, police said. 

The murder of the man, who was a yoga teacher, was carried out in December last year but the body was recovered on Monday after the police arrested the accused following a long investigation.

Officials said Hardeep found out that Jagdeep, who lived with him in a portion of his house as a tenant and taught yoga at the Baba Mastnath University in Rohtak, was allegedly having an affair with his wife. He paid some people to dig a 7-foot deep pit in Pantavas village of Charkhi Dadri – telling them it was for a borewell – and bided his time. 

On December 24, Hardeep and some of his friends kidnapped Jagdeep – who was originally from Mandothi village in Jhajjar district – on December 24, after he returned from work. Jagdeep’s hands and legs were tied and he was beaten up as the group took him to the pit in Charkhi Dadri.
