Real-life Drishyam murder: Husband buried under tiles
As per NDTV, 35-year-old Vijay Chavan had been untraceable for the past 15 days. He lived with his 28-year-old wife, Komal Chavan, in Gadgapada, Nalasopara East, located around 70 km from Mumbai.
On Monday, his brothers visited his home during their search. They noticed that some of the floor tiles looked different in colour. When they removed the odd tiles, they found a vest buried beneath and noticed a foul smell, prompting them to contact the police immediately.
Nalasopara, Maharashtra: In a shocking incident in Dhaniv Baug, Nalasopara, a woman allegedly murdered her husband with the help of her lover and buried the body under the house floor, later covering it with tiles to avoid suspicion. The crime came to light nearly 15 days later… pic.twitter.com/e3udcvauTX
Police later discovered Vijay's body hidden under the tiles. They now suspect that he was murdered by his wife Komal, who has been missing for two days along with a neighbour named Monu. The two are allegedly in a romantic relationship and are the primary suspects in the case.
More details about the case are awaited.

Chilling and emotionally nerv cracking. #PrithvirajSukumar shows what patriotism means and #Kajol showcases true motherhood and love. #IbrahimAliKhan exceeds expectations.' Praising Prithviraj Sukumar and Kajol's performance another user stated, 'Ibrahim Ali Khan is a misfit, emotionless facial reactions. Kashmir Visuals r beautiful. Familiar Story with an interesting Climax. Thr r emotions & patriotism in film, but couldnt connect to it due to weak writing. BELOW AVERAGE!' A third user called it average and stated, '#Sarzameen had a solid premise but failed to deliver. Weak screenplay and direction let it down. Prithvi, Kajol & the rest of the cast did well, but there was no real emotional connect. Overall, a mid watch with no standout moments.' A fourth comment read, 'It has vibes like Mission Kashmir and Fanaa…. Sarzameen is a one time watch film where #PrithvirajSukumaran and #Kajol pull off the dramedy very well whereas the #IbrahimAliKhan's performance is just decent. He has to learn more but I think that with time, everything will be okay' IMDb description states, 'An Army officer will stop at nothing to free Kashmir valley from terrorism, even if it means paying a terrible price.'
