A heated altercation followed, after which Ravina and Suresh allegedly strangled him to death. To avoid suspicion, they wrapped the body, placed it on a motorcycle, and dumped it in a roadside drain on Dinod Road, on the outskirts of the city.
The CCTV footage, which emerged during the police investigation into Praveen’s disappearance, shows the duo riding out of the locality late at night with the body wedged between them.
Ravina was arrested after she confessed to the murder. Suresh is still absconding.
The breakthrough came after investigators scanned hundreds of CCTV clips from areas around the couple’s house and the location where the body was later found.
Clip showed a man riding a bike with a helmet, Ravina on the pillion, and a large object suspected to be Praveen’s body wedged between them. The same bike was captured near the family’s garden shortly before it was seen heading towards Dinod Road.
Ravina, a resident of Joodi village in Rewari, had married Praveen, who hailed from Gujron Ki Dhani in Bhiwani, in 2017. The couple had a six-year-old son. Police said their marriage had become strained over the past few years due to Ravina’s social media activity and her growing closeness with Suresh, a YouTuber from Premnagar village in Hisar whom she met on Instagram around 18 months ago.
Praveen, who worked as a driver at a sand and gravel shop, had reportedly objected to the friendship. After he went missing a search operation was launched. His decomposed body was recovered from the drain three days later.
