Khandeshwar police have arrested six people including husband and his girlfriend in connection with the murder of a 29-year-old woman.

introduced them with three persons, the police have identified them as Rohit alias Shiv Raju Sonane, 22, a resident of Buldhana, Pankaj Yadav, 26, a resident of Uttar Pradesh and Dipak Chokhande, 26, a resident of Buldhana and agreed to pay Rs 5 lakh for the muder. They took Rs 3 lakh from Devrat for killing his wife.
On September 15, at around 10 pm when the deceased was returning home from work, one of them stabbed a knife in her throat and killed her. The incident took place near the auto-rickshaw stand in Panvel (East).
During the investigation, the police found that her husband Devrat had an extra-marital affair. The police called both Devrat and his girlfriend Nikita and during the interrogation, they admitted to have given the contract to kill her.
