The Jamnagar cyanide murder case has shocked Gujarat. Police uncovered an alleged murder that remained hidden for nearly two years. A woman and her alleged lover are accused of poisoning her husband with cyanide, burying his body beneath a concrete factory floor, and misleading family members about his disappearance.
Prithvi and Nilesh Arrested in Jamnagar cyanide murder case
Police arrested Prithvi Mavadiya and her alleged lover Nilesh for the murder of Jignesh Dharmeshbhai Mavadiya. Investigators allege the couple mixed cyanide into Jignesh’s liquor, causing his death shortly after he consumed it.
According to police, the accused transported Jignesh’s body to an industrial complex. They allegedly dug a 12-foot-deep pit and buried the body beneath the factory floor. They later sealed the pit with concrete to hide the crime.
Crime Hidden For Nearly Two Years
For nearly two years, the Jamnagar cyanide murder case remained undiscovered. Whenever relatives asked about Jignesh, Prithvi allegedly claimed that he had moved to Australia for work. She reportedly told family members that strict company rules prevented him from using his phone.
The case came to light after Jignesh’s brother, Ashok, grew suspicious and filed a missing person complaint. During the investigation, police questioned the accused extensively. According to investigators, Prithvi eventually confessed and revealed the exact burial location.
Police recovered skeletal remains from the site and sent them for DNA analysis to confirm the identity. The investigation is continuing, and authorities are collecting further forensic evidence.
