Yoga Teacher Buried Alive Over Alleged Affair; Body Found Three Months Later
A yoga teacher in India was brutally murdered and buried alive in December 2024 over an alleged affair with a married woman. His body was only discovered three months later, on March 24, after police arrested the primary suspect following a lengthy investigation.
The accused, identified as Hardeep from Rohtak, Haryana, reportedly discovered that his tenant, Jagdeep, was allegedly having an affair with his wife. Enraged, he conspired with friends to abduct and kill him.
According to police, Hardeep and his accomplices kidnapped Jagdeep, a yoga instructor at Baba Mastnath University, on December 24 after he returned home from work. They tied his hands and legs, beat him severely, and transported him to a remote field in Charkhi Dadri. There, they taped his mouth shut to prevent him from screaming and threw him into a 7-foot-deep pit, which they had previously dug under the guise of preparing for a borewell. Jagdeep was then buried alive as the men filled the pit with mud.
Jagdeep was reported missing on January 3, but investigators initially had no leads. A breakthrough came when police analyzed his call records, which led them to detain Hardeep and his associate, Dharampal. During interrogation, the suspects confessed, revealing details of the gruesome crime.
On March 24, authorities exhumed Jagdeep’s body from the burial site. Police have confirmed that more arrests are expected as the investigation continues.
“The post-mortem has been conducted, and we are awaiting the report,” said Kuldeep Singh, head of the Crime Investigation Agency unit handling the case.
