Jhajjar police in Haryana solved the murder of a pregnant banker, Mahak, in just 18 hours. Her husband, Anshul Dhawan, initially reported that unknown attackers tried to rob them. He claimed they fatally injured Mahak during the supposed robbery. The police, however, noticed inconsistencies in his statements. The investigation quickly turned suspicious.

Anshul repeatedly changed details of his story and could not describe the alleged assailants. His alibi began to collapse under scrutiny. Police realised the crime scene did not match a robbery attempt. Witness accounts and forensic checks raised further doubts. Mahak’s father had also suspected something was wrong from the start.

Under intense interrogation, Anshul finally confessed to killing Mahak. Authorities said he had long harboured suspicions about her. Their arguments had grown frequent over time. These suspicions reportedly drove him to commit the crime. The confession confirmed the police’s earlier doubts.
