A police official said that investigation revealed that Geeta had conviced Bharat to murder an unidentified individual, dress the victim’s body in women’s clothing and jewellery to resemble her, and then burn the body beyond recognition.Bharat lured Harji Solanki—an elderly villager with no connection to their love affair—and strangled him to death. Bharat then transported the body on a motorcycle to Geeta’s backyard. There, the duo dressed the corpse in Geeta’s clothes and jewellery, doused it in petrol, and set it on fire.However, the body did not burn completely.Geeta’s husband filed a missing person’s report the same night, initiating a swift police probe.Forensic clues and glaring holes in the suspects’ stories cracked the case wide open. The half-charred corpse was soon identified as Harji Solanki, and the fabricated suicide unraveled thread by thread.With the noose tightening, the fugitive pair tried to make a run for it. But the couple was nabbed at Palanpur railway station, just before they could flee to Rajasthan.Now in custody, the couple will now face the court on Thursday.
