00:04This mirat man broke down in a dramatic, near-fainting display of grief over his wife's murder,
00:09only to be later suspected to be her killer.
00:11Police in Uttar Pradesh say, Saakib allegedly murdered his wife, Kosar, by slitting her
00:16throat with a paper cutter after she objected to his alleged extramarital affair and confronted
00:21him.
00:26He then tried to cover it up as a robbery gone wrong.
00:29According to investigators, Saakib raised alarms, cried publicly and claimed an unknown
00:38man dressed in black had entered the house and killed his wife.
00:41Videos even showed him collapsing in grief as shocked locals gathered around him.
00:46But police say his story quickly began falling apart.
00:48Contradictions in his statements, along with forensic evidence, raised suspicion during questioning.
00:54Investigators allege that Kosar had recently discovered Saakib's affair, leading to repeated
00:58alleged fights between the couple.
01:00During interrogation, police say Saakib eventually confessed to killing her while she was asleep.
01:05Authorities say he then staged the entire scene to look like a robbery and tried to convince
01:10both police and family members that unknown attackers were responsible.
01:13Further investigation is underway.
