Live LawA Mumbai Sessions Court has convicted acclaimed artist Chintan Upadhyay for conspiring and abetting the murder of his ex-wife Hema Upadhyay and her lawyer Haresh Bhambhani. The police claimed that it was on Chintan's orders that fabrication artist- Vidyadhar Rajbhar- killed the wife Hema Upadhyay and her lawyer with help from others. He pointed towards a painting Hema had once found in Chintan's room of a woman resembling her with a macabre line written across it: ‘I will destroy you.’ He submitted that Hema was apprehensive her estranged husband was going to create a big problem for her. The prosecution also relied on the deposition of the estranged couple’s domestic help, Lalit Mandal, who categorically said that Chintan never interacted with Hema even when he stayed in their Mumbai residence.
