Man arrested with illegal pistol confesses to killing wife

A 25-year-old man, Santosh Rajput, was arrested with an illegal country-made pistol in Powai on Saturday. During interrogation, he confessed to killing his wife on August 29 and dumping her body at Malshej Ghat in Thane district. Santosh reportedly told the police that his wife Divya had left him after he was arrested in a robbery case a few months ago. When she found out about his criminal background, she moved into her parents' place in Vashi with their three-month-old child. It angered Santosh and he decided to kill her.

After his release, Santosh went to meet Divya and convinced her to accompany him back home. But Santosh and his three friends reportedly drove Divya in a car to an isolated place and slit her throat with a chopper. They then dumped her body in Malshej Ghat. Divya's parents were unaware of her death as they assumed she was with him. Santosh has been remanded into police custody till December 4. His accomplices were also arrested. Police suspect Santosh's involvement in several other cases, including a petrol pump robbery in Pune.
