Aurangabad Crime Shocks India: Bride Orchestrates Husband’s Murder for Illicit Affair with Uncle

A chilling crime story from Aurangabad district, Bihar, has sent shockwaves not only through the local community but across the entire nation. The incident began with a grand wedding on May 21, 2025, where Gunja Devi married Priyanshu, the son of a wealthy landlord family. However, beneath the festive celebrations, something was amiss. The bride, Gunja, appeared restless throughout the ceremony, frequently speaking to someone on the phone and looking away whenever her husband noticed.

It soon became clear that Gunja’s attention was not on her new husband, but on her uncle, Jeevan Singh—a man nearly twice her age, around 60, and a prominent bus transport businessman in Daltonganj. Gunja had spent most of her childhood and youth in Jeevan’s home, relying on him for her upbringing. Over time, their innocent relationship took a dark turn, and by the time Gunja was 16 or 17, the two had entered into an illicit and unethical relationship, hidden from the family for years.

The secret unraveled in April 2025 when Gunja’s aunt caught them in a compromising situation. An uproar ensued, and her aunt immediately informed Gunja’s father, urging him to take Gunja away. In an attempt to protect the family’s honor, her father hastily arranged her marriage. Gunja, however, was unwilling, wishing instead to stay with her uncle. Despite her protests, the marriage went ahead, and her unease was evident from the very beginning.

Even after the wedding, Gunja continued to meet Jeevan Singh in secret, often under the pretense of visiting her parental home. Her in-laws, unaware of the truth, gave her space as a new bride, which she used to maintain her illicit connection.
