In Uttar Pradesh's Meerut, a premeditated murder case has shocked the region.Atul Kumar Panwar, a school operator, was found dead in his rented home after being allegedly drugged with sleeping pills and bitten by a venomous snake.Police arrested his wife Damini, her alleged lover Tushar (a bus driver at their school), and two snake charmers, Sonu and Uday Kumar.Investigators revealed that Damini and Tushar conspired to kill Atul, who was also the policyholder of a ₹20 lakh life insurance.The accused planned to claim the payout after his death, with the snake charmers promised ₹5 lakh.This was not the first attempt; Tushar had previously tried to kill Atul by ramming him with a car, but Atul survived due to a helmet.

The case highlights a complex web of personal conflict, financial motives, and deceit, with police emphasizing that the death was a calculated murder, not an accident.The investigation continues as the four accused face legal consequences for their roles in the conspiracy.
