Two persons were arrested on charges of a murder committed six months ago in Khadakalat village near Chikkodi.

Investigators arrested Bangari Gawade and Rama Rana, who were allegedly having an extramarital affair. They face charges of killing Bangari’s husband Raghu Gawade.

The woman, who was involved in planning the offence, had lied to her relatives that her husband had gone to the neighbouring district to herd sheep.

However, Raghu’s brother Lagamanna became suspicious and complained to the police. An investigation is on.
