Later, the body was sent for the post-mortem. A case under section 302 of the IPC was filed.
After the probe, police nabbed the accused on Saturday and he confessed to have killed Durga as he used to demand money frequently and was not staying with him for the past eight months. Durga was Gopal’s second wife.
