Aman Mani Tripathi, currently out on bail is accused of murdering his wife, Sara Singh

The Central Bureau of Investigation formally charged Aman Mani Tripathi, son of four-time Uttar Pradesh legislator Amar Mani Tripathi, of murder in 2016.

“During the investigation, it was found that after her marriage, Sara Singh was allegedly being subjected to physical torture and cruelty by the accused. She was allegedly murdered on July 9, 2015, with a premeditated plan to get rid of her by the accused and others. The accused framed it as a fake road accident and presented the same as the cause of death of victim Sara Singh,” the CBI said in a statement.

Aman claims that Sara, 27, died in a road accident, but the CBI arrested him in November 2016 after his in-laws lodged a murder case against him.

He had earlier been arrested for the alleged kidnapping of a businessman in Lucknow.
