New Delhi: In a chilling incident in Uttar Pradesh's Bareilly district, a man allegedly killed his wife at the behest of his lover and tried to pass it off as a highway robbery, police said.

Om Saran (38), the accused, has been arrested and sent to judicial custody, they said.

After inconsistencies in Sarna's initial statement raised red flags, his call records were checked which revealed that he was in touch with a woman named Mannat, prompting police to dig deeper, SSP (Bareilly) Anurag Arya said.

The probe eventually led to the unravelling of the murder conspiracy, Arya said.
