An inquiry by police revealed illicit relation between the victim's wife, Priyanka (30), and his neighbour, Mahavir Meena (26), according to police.

A 32-year-old man, whose death in Rajasthan's Kota district was suspected to be by suicide, was killed allegedly by his wife and her lover, police said on Thursday. Budhiprakash Meena, a resident of Lakhsanija village, was found dead in his house in a suspicious condition on Sunday, an officer said. Since the family members of the victim did not point out any suspicion of murder, police initially lodged a case of unnatural death and handed over the body to family members after a post-mortem by medical board, Etawah Circle Officer Vijashankar Sharma said. An inquiry by police revealed illicit relation between the victim's wife, Priyanka (30), and his neighbour, Mahavir Meena (26), according to the officer.
