The district rural police on Wednesday (October 9) arrested the accused, Mohammad Siraj Ansari (32) and his wife Razia, in connection with the murder that occurred on October 4, an official said.

The Kulgaon police then registered a first information report under section 103(1) (murder) of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita and launched the probe, he said.
