He told the police that he then dug up a pit in his own house and buried Singh's body at night. He also put huge quantity of salt on the body to control the stink.
"I dug up a grave around 1.5 feet deep and bundled the body inside. I added salt to allow the body to decompose and get rid off the smell. Later, I covered the grave with bricks," Ram said.
Superintendent of Police AK Vijeta said, "The accused was arrested for murder and destruction of evidence and his wife was arrested for a criminal conspiracy as she knew the incident and did not inform the police."
