A 32-year-old social media influencer from Haryana, along with her lover, has allegedly strangled her husband to death in Hisar district and disposed of his body in a drain after he reportedly caught them in a compromising situation.
According to NDTV, the accused, Raveena, had connected with Suresh on Instagram and began collaborating with him on short video content in Premnagar. However, her husband and his family disapproved of their partnership and the videos they were creating.
Despite facing strong opposition, Raveena and Suresh continued creating social media content together for nearly 18 months. Their short videos and dance reels helped Raveena amass more than 34,000 followers on Instagram.
Originally from Joodi village in Rewari, Raveena was married to Praveen, a resident of Gujron Ki Dhani near Bhiwani’s old bus stand. According to a Times of India report, Praveen worked as a driver at a sand and gravel shop and was battling alcohol addiction.
Raveena’s passion for content creation extended beyond Instagram—her YouTube series featured collaborations with other artists as well. Despite repeated objections and frequent conflicts with her husband and his family, she remained committed to her online work.
On March 25, Praveen reportedly caught Raveena and Suresh in an intimate situation, which led to a heated altercation. During the confrontation, the duo allegedly strangled him with a dupatta (stole), resulting in his death.
Body Dumped on a Bike at Night
When Praveen’s family questioned Raveena about his sudden disappearance, she feigned ignorance. Later that night, around 2:30 am, Raveena and Suresh allegedly transported Praveen’s body on a motorcycle and disposed of it in a drain approximately six kilometers from their home.
Police recovered Praveen’s decomposing body on March 28. CCTV footage from the vicinity showed a person riding a bike with a helmet, Raveena seated behind with her face covered, and what appeared to be Praveen’s body positioned between them. Footage from two hours later showed them returning—this time without the body.
During police interrogation, Raveena reportedly confessed to the crime. Both she and Suresh have been arrested and are now in judicial custody.
In the aftermath of the tragedy, Praveen’s six-year-old son is now in the care of his grandfather and uncle.
The case comes on the heels of another gruesome murder in Meerut, where a woman and her lover killed her husband, dismembered the body, and sealed the remains in a cement-filled blue drum—sending shockwaves across the country.
