UP man held for helping Bengaluru techie murder his wife by sharing live location

Balamurugan was then arrested for allegedly orchestrating and executing the murder. According to the police, he had planned the killing for several months and kept a knife as backup if the shooting failed.

The police revealed that Balamurugan initially hired Tamil Nadu-based burglar Moulesh Kumar to carry out the shooting. When Moulesh repeatedly delayed the plan’s execution, Balamurugan allegedly murdered his wife himself. Moulesh was subsequently arrested by Tamil Nadu police during a burglary investigation, which led to the recovery of one of the countrymade pistols allegedly procured by Balamurugan.

During the investigation, technical evidence indicated Abhimanyu’s role. “Abhimanyu came into contact with Balamurugan and often visited Bengaluru before the murder. He visited a gym located opposite the bank where Bhuvaneshwari worked. He took note of her entry and exit from the bank,” a police officer said.

On the day of the murder, Abhimanyu shared Bhuvaneshwari’s live location with Balamurugan, enabling him to track her before carrying out the attack, according to the police.

The police also said that Abhimanyu accompanied Moulesh to Bihar to procure two countrymade pistols used in the conspiracy. Two other associates of Moulesh—Surya and Rahul—have been identified for their alleged involvement in the murder plot. Both are currently imprisoned in Tamil Nadu.
