It was a bizarre day for the officers at Chikmagalur’s Ajjampura Police Station. A man walked into the police station holding a bag in one hand and a machete in the other, claiming he had killed his wife.

In a video shot by an official at the police station, the man, identified as 35-year-old Satish, is seen narrating the chilling details of the murder.

“This is my wife, sir. I gave her all the love I could,” Satish begins in the video as he fishes out the head of his wife, Roopa, from a black plastic bag and holds it up.

“Put it inside!” a police officer is heard shouting. Satish puts his wife’s head back into the bag and starts confessing.

“She cheated on me. I saw her with that guy near the plantation. I killed her. But that guy (Roopa’s alleged paramour) ran away. I couldn’t kill him though,” Satish claimed.
