Wife Threatens Hubby with Drum Treatment Like the Meerut Murder Victim!
New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): A wild case out of Uttar Pradesh’s Gonda district has surfaced, where a woman allegedly threatened to kill her husband in a brutal way, just like the gruesome murder of a merchant navy guy in Meerut. The man’s body was found stuffed in a drum under cement after his wife and her lover killed him. According to PTI, the woman in Gonda allegedly told her husband, Dharmendra Kushwaha, that he’d end up just like that — chopped up and packed away in a drum.

A video of the fight between the couple shows the woman smacking her husband with a wiper outside their home, leading to a heated verbal showdown. The clip quickly went viral across social media.
Both sides filed complaints with the local cops, and the investigation is now underway. Police are also digging through CCTV footage to figure out exactly what went down.
The Love Triangle Drama
Dharmendra Kushwaha, a junior engineer at Gonda’s Jal Nigam, and Maya Maurya tied the knot in a love marriage back in 2016. In his complaint, Kushwaha says he bought several things in Maya’s name — three cars, land, and even gave the contract for building their house to Maya’s cousin, Neeraj Maurya, who’s now also named as an accused.
Kushwaha claims Maya and Neeraj grew close while building the house, and things took a wild turn after Neeraj’s wife passed away. On July 7, 2024, Kushwaha says he caught them in a compromising situation, leading to a huge argument. After that, Maya left, but came back a month later, grabbed some gold and cash, and left again. Kushwaha filed a complaint about the theft on September 1, 2024.
The March 29th Blow-Up
The latest drama went down on March 29, 2025, when Maya allegedly threatened to kill Kushwaha’s mother. The argument turned violent, with Maya and Neeraj reportedly beating up both Kushwaha and his mom. In the heat of the fight, Maya allegedly said, “If you talk too much, I’ll get you chopped and packed in a drum like the Meerut murder,” according to Kushwaha’s complaint.
The Wife’s Side of the Story
Maya, though, isn’t having it. In her own complaint, she says Kushwaha is lying and claims he forced her to have four abortions. She also says after being beaten up by him in July 2024, she filed a report at the women’s police station. Maya alleges Kushwaha filed for divorce and kicked her out of the house.
Investigation in Progress
The Kotwali Police Station has confirmed that several cases related to the couple are in court, and they’re still investigating the latest incident. Police are combing through CCTV footage to piece things together. SHO Vivek Trivedi mentioned that the authorities are taking a close look at the situation.
