An Infosys employee has been picked up for allegedly murdering his wife three days ago in Bengaluru. Priyanka Gupta was found dead in her flat with her throat slit and her hands and legs tied.

The police, which had initially suspected robbery to be the motive behind the murder, found on Friday that it was the husband who allegedly committed the crime.

Sources said Satish was upset that his wife Priyanka used to harass her in-laws and hence had committed the murder. Further investigation is on. Married for three years, the couple hailed from Lucknow.

The police also interrogated Satish's several relatives to find more clues.
