In Brief
The appellant was convicted by the trial court for murdering his wife, Smt. Priyanka Gupta, on 10.08.2010, and for obstructing justice by fabricating a false narrative to conceal the crime. The High Court upheld the conviction. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, finding that the circumstantial evidence—including false claims about receiving a call from his wife while jogging, the discovery of bloodstained shoes at his residence, and contradictions in call records—formed a complete and unbroken chain proving his guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
