After only four months of marriage, the husband has been charged with killing his wife. It is alleged that he concealed his wife's body beneath the bed after murdering her. Demands for a dowry are said to have led to the murder. The Belagavi region of Karnataka is where the incident took place. The husband of the woman has been evading capture ever since the incident. According to police, a search for the accused has started as of Wednesday, October 8.

According to police sources, the deceased has been identified as Sakshi Kambar (20). This murder took place in Kamladini village of Mudhol taluk. The allegation is that Akash Kambar killed his wife and hid her body under the bed.

It has been learned that Akash's mother was not at home for several days. She discovered Sakshi's body after returning home. Police recovered the body after receiving the information. According to police sources, Sakshi was murdered about three days ago. Since then, there has been no trace of Akash. Akash's mobile phone is also switched off.

According to news agency sources, police have filed a murder case after recovering Sakshi's body. The reason for this murder is still not clear. However, Sakshi's family members allege that her husband killed Sakshi over dowry. An investigation into this has begun.

Incidentally, several murders over dowry demands have occurred in recent days. Just two days ago, the body of a pregnant woman was recovered in Uttar Pradesh. Her body was recovered from the Mainpuri area of Uttar Pradesh. The allegation is that her husband and in-laws beat her to death over dowry demands.
