In a chilling crime that has shocked Haryana and social media users alike, 32-year-old influencer Raveena and her alleged lover Suresh have been arrested for the brutal murder of Raveena’s husband Praveen.
The grisly incident unfolded on March 25 in Bhiwani, when Mr Praveen reportedly caught his wife and Suresh in an intimate act at their home in Gujron Ki Dhani.
According to the police, a heated argument ensued, during which Raveena allegedly used her dupatta (shawl-like wrap) to strangle her 35-year-old husband.
Instead of raising an alarm, the couple waited until 2.30am to transport Mr Praveen’s lifeless body on a motorcycle and dump it in a drain along Dinnod Road, about six kiloemtres from the crime scene.
Raveena, who boasts over 34,000 Instagram followers and regularly posted comedic videos about family life, had reportedly met Suresh on Instagram a year and a half ago, reported India Today.
Their collaboration on video content soon turned into a romantic affair, one that Mr Praveen had grown increasingly suspicious of. Family members said arguments over her social media obsession and frequent absences were common in the household.
The case cracked open on March 28, when police discovered Mr Praveen’s decomposed body, reported NDTV.
CCTV footage proved pivotal: it showed Raveena and Suresh on a motorcycle, with a third person – later identified as Praveen’s corpse – wedged between them.
A return trip was caught on camera two hours later, this time with only the two riders visible.
During police interrogation, Suresh confessed to the affair and the murder, detailing how the pair disposed of the body.
Raveena had pretended ignorance about her husband’s whereabouts in the days following the murder, misleading both family and authorities.
The couple’s six-year-old son is now in the care of Mr Praveen’s father and uncle.
Both Raveena and Suresh are currently in judicial custody, facing charges of murder and conspiracy.
