Real-Life ‘Drishyam’: Wife and Lover Allegedly Bury Husband Beneath New Tiles in Palghar, Maharashtra

If you’ve watched Ajay Devgn’s thriller “Drishyam,” you’ll remember the shocking plot twist when a body is hidden in plain sight—but what if that reel-life story turns chillingly real? That’s exactly what happened in Palghar near Mumbai, where police have uncovered a murder so disturbing, it could put any crime movie to shame.

The case unspooled in the Nalasopara area, home to 35-year-old Vijay Chauhan and his 28-year-old wife, Komal Chauhan. For 15 days, Vijay was missing. His family, desperate, searched everywhere. But the mystery deepened when Komal too disappeared after two weeks—along with a neighboring youth, Monu Sharma.

Suspicions mounted, and attention quickly turned to a possible affair between Komal and Monu—a classic love triangle. Vijay’s brothers, haunted by worry, finally broke open the locked home. Inside, one detail caught their eye: while the old floor tiles were dull and worn, a small section gleamed with brand-new tiles. Why would only that spot be renovated?

Acting on a hunch, the brothers broke the new tiles. Beneath the cement and debris they were hit by a wave of stench and the grim sight of fabric—confirming their worst fears. Vijay’s body had been buried right there, inside his own home, covered by cement and fresh tiles to hide the crime, just like “Drishyam.”

Police and forensic teams quickly arrived, sealing off the house and recovering the body. Komal and Monu, now prime suspects, are currently on the run as authorities conduct raids across the region.

Investigators believe that Komal, together with her lover Monu Sharma, killed Vijay, dug a grave inside the house, and covered it up with new tiles to avoid suspicion—before fleeing the area. The careful planning and sheer boldness of the act have left neighbors and netizens stunned.

This gruesome case reminds us that sometimes, reality is far scarier—and more unpredictable—than fiction. As police hunt for Komal and Monu, the unanswered questions linger: What really happened that night? How was the murder executed? And most importantly—will the fugitives ever be caught and brought to justice?
