Bengaluru: Techie who shot wife dead over affair had hired hitman for job; talks fell over money

Bengaluru, 1/10: A 40-year-old techie, who allegedly shot his wife dead last month for having an affair, had originally planned to get her eliminated by a contract killer. He dropped the idea after the prospective assassin demanded more money.

Police have now arrested the suspected hitman — 35-year-old Moulesh from Salem, Tamil Nadu — for not alerting the authorities about the murder plot
