Saralnama

In Madhya Pradesh's Sidhi district, a woman's body was found buried in her home. Her husband, Pappu Pandey, was arrested for the murder. The case seemed straightforward with witnesses and evidence. However, in court, witnesses retracted statements, forensic tests on the alleged murder weapon were negative, and arrest date discrepancies emerged. A new witness claimed Pappu was working elsewhere on the murder day. Despite these issues, the trial court sentenced Pappu to life imprisonment. After 10 years in jail, Pappu's appeal reached the Madhya Pradesh High Court, reopening the investigation. (Updated 21 Oct 2025, 06:35 IST; source: link)
