Finding out 'wife' was male while shaving, man kills partner

Finding out 'wife' was male while shaving, man kills partner  

A 20-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly murdering his live-in partner in Rajkot, Gujarat.

The accused, Piyush Kumar Kharwar from Uttar Pradesh, had been in a nearly three-year relationship with Chandan Kumar, whom he met on social media.

Chandan had posed as a woman under the names "Nisha Kumar" on Facebook and "Poonam" on Instagram.

Police said Piyush got into a relationship with Chandan, believing him to be a woman, and the two subsequently moved in together.

Chandan kept pursuing Kumar

However, Chandan always refused physical intimacy, citing religious beliefs.

The situation changed when Piyush saw Chandan shaving and realized the person he believed was a woman was, in fact, a man.

This revelation led to frequent arguments between them, police said.

According to investigators, Chandan pursued Piyush even when he relocated for works from Hyderabad to Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and eventually Rajkot district.
