A 40-year-old woman was arrested for obtaining a death certificate for her husband who was alive.
The police identified the accused as Revathi.
In October last year, she had lodged a complaint with Edappadi police claiming that her husband, S. Vijayakumar, 48, was missing.
Later, she went to Bhavani police station, Erode, and claimed that an unidentified body found in the Cauvery was that of her husband. The police conducted a probe and provided the post-mortem report of the unidentified body to Revathi. Based on the report, she obtained a death certificate, and then applied for a legal heir certificate, allegedly to sell a land belonging to Vijayakumar.
After further inquiry, the police found that Vijayakumar was alive, following which they registered a case and arrested Revathi.
