A 44-year-old First Division Assistant (FDA), who allegedly paid ₹10 lakh to eliminate her husband who was “harassing“ her over a financial loss she had incurred, was arrested by the Doddaballapura police on Monday.
The incident came to light when the police arrested Syed Nayeem from K.G. Halli and his associate Moula from Shidlaghatta for attacking the victim, Mukunda, while he was returning home from work at Bashettyhalli on the outskirts of the city on May 25.
The accused, along with two others, intercepted the Mr. Mukunda’s car and attacked him, but they fled the scene when passers-by rushed to help.
