The body of Surendra Sharma (45), who was missing for around 45 days, was recovered after police dug up the bathroom floor at the couple’s house in Renuka Dham Colony under Sikandra police station limits. Assistant Commissioner of Police Amisha said Sharma was allegedly murdered by his wife, Ruby Sharma, who buried the body beneath the bathroom floor before covering it with concrete to conceal the crime.
Ruby Sharma has been arrested and is being interrogated to ascertain the motive behind the killing, the police said. As per a neighbour, Gaurav Dixit, said the couple frequently quarrelled and that Surendra Sharma, a native of Bharatpur, had been living with his family in Renuka Dham Colony for about nine years.
He said residents had repeatedly asked Ruby Sharma about her husband’s whereabouts after he went missing, but she allegedly kept evading their questions.
Ketan Agarwal murder case
The case comes in light of the murder of Pune-based realtor Ketan Agarwal allegedly by his fiancée Siya Goyal and her lover Chetan Chaudhary. According to investigators, Goyal and Chaudhary pushed Agarwal from the Lohagad Fort near Pune on June 18.
In the most recent development, Goyal and Chaudhary were taken to the cliff at Lohagad Fort from where they allegedly pushed Agarwal off. Pune Rural Police has also moved a court seeking permission to conduct polygraph tests on Goyal and her alleged lover, Chaudhary, an official said.
Blue drum case
The murder has drawn comparisons with the February 2025 ‘blue drum’ case, in which merchant navy officer Saurabh Rajput was allegedly killed, dismembered and his body encased in cement inside a blue drum by his wife, Muskaan Rajput, and her alleged lover, Sahil.
