Newlywed woman orchestrates husband's murder

In Aurangabad, Bihar, Gunja Singh has been accused of orchestrating her husband Priyanshu Kumar Singh's murder just 45 days after their wedding.
Police say Gunja was in a long-term relationship with her maternal uncle, Jeevan Singh, and allegedly shared Priyanshu's location with hired killers so they could ambush him near Nabinagar railway station on June 25.

TL;DR

Investigators treating this as contract killing

Gunja and two alleged hitmen have been arrested; during questioning, Gunja reportedly confessed to planning the murder.
Jeevan Singh is still on the run as police continue searching for him.
Investigators are treating this as a contract killing inspired by another recent high-profile case and are digging into phone records for more evidence.
