‘Nagpur doctor, 52, killed wife, staged murder to look like robbery gone wrong’

NAGPUR: According to authorities, a 52-year-old doctor and his younger brother killed his wife last week because they thought she was cheating on him. They then arranged the house to make it appear like a robbery and claimed to have discovered the death three days later after returning from Raipur on Saturday.

After identifying gaps in his statements and discovering that, on April 9, the day of the murder, his phone was pinging mobile towers in Nagpur, despite his claims to be in Raipur, investigators arrested Dr. Anil Rahule, 52, and his brother, Raju Rahule, 48, a farmer from Khairlanji village in the Bhandara district, on Sunday.

At the Government Medical College and Hospital in Nagpur, his wife, Dr. Archana Rahule, served as the senior assistant professor in the physiotherapy division. While her husband was employed in Raipur and their son was a third-year medical student in Pune, she had been living alone in Nagpur.
