‘Killer’ couple’s police remand extended

The prosecution had sought the extension on the grounds of recovering the victim’s motorcycle and other valuables even as the spade and autorickshaw used in the crime and victim’s mobile phone and clothes were already recovered.

Since the victim’s motorcycle,around Rs 1 lakh cash and other valuables were still missing,the police wanted to interrogate the couple further.

On Wednesday,Manisha had reportedly called Tiwari,with whom she was allegedly having an illicit affair,on his mobile phone,asking him to meet her in Palsora. When he reached there,both rode on Tiwari’s bike to a deserted area behind Dara Studio in Phase VI on Wednesday night.

Mintu,who followed them in his autorickshaw,allegedly attacked Tiwari with a spade from behind,when Manisha and Tiwari were engaged in a conversation.

Tiwari ran a readymade garment store in Sector 19,Chandigarh ,and is survived by wife and two minor children.
