The Story in Brief
Odishatv.in reports that a pregnant woman from Odisha's Koraput district was murdered by her live-in partner in Andhra Pradesh's Vizianagaram district. The accused, who already has two wives, allegedly killed her, kept the body hidden for two days, and buried it in Gajapathinagaram. Police used cyber methods to trace him and recovered the body. They have arrested the main accused and one associate. The motive is under investigation. The crime reportedly mirrors the plot of the Malayalam film 'Drishyam', where a murder is concealed. The woman was from Dasamantpur and the accused from the same area in Koraput.
The Indian Opinion
The media's quick comparison to a film risks turning a brutal killing into entertainment, reducing a mother and child's death to a plot point. Blaming live-in relationships or 'modern values' misses the real story: a man with two wives allegedly killed a pregnant woman who trusted him. Focus should stay on the accused's history and motive. The real test will be whether the investigation uncovers if prior complaints existed against him and if the two wives had any knowledge. Will the court system protect women in informal relationships who have no legal claim to safety?
