Thane, Nov 8, 2025: A 44-year-old man was allegedly strangled to death by his wife and her paramour, who later dumped his body in a river in Maharashtra’s Thane district, police said on Saturday.

The Badlapur police have launched a search for the accused, who have been on the run after committing the crime on Thursday, an official said.

"The accused, Manisha Parmar and Laxman Bhoir (36), were neighbours and were having an affair. The victim, Kisan Parmar, had confronted his wife about her illicit relationship," senior inspector Kishore Shinde said.
