In a shocking turn of events, Priya Seth, a 34-year-old life convict, is set to marry fellow life-term convict Hanuman Prasad in a Rajasthan village. The wedding has sparked widespread outrage and reignited memories of one of Jaipur's most chilling crimes, the 2018 Tinder suitcase murder. Priya's relationship with Hanuman, forged behind prison walls, has raised questions about the reform system and the possibility of second chances for violent offenders. However, the move has also brought back the painful memories of Dushyant Sharma, a 27-year-old aspiring businessman who was murdered by Priya and her accomplices in a kidnapping plot gone wrong. The gruesome crime, which involved demanding ₹10 lakh from Dushyant's family, culminated in his brutal murder, with his body stuffed inside a suitcase and dumped in a village on Jaipur's outskirts. Priya, who had been living with her partner Dikshant Kamra under ₹21 lakh in debt, had been manipulating Dushyant through Tinder, posing as a wealthy businessman. Following her arrest, Priya confessed to the crime, stating that Dushyant had lied about his identity, and they needed money to pay off their debts. In 2023, a Jaipur court sentenced her and her accomplices to life imprisonment, calling the murder cold-blooded, premeditated, and brutal. The Rajasthan high court recently directed authorities to decide swiftly on Priya and Hanuman's parole pleas, which were approved for 15 days of temporary release to get married. However, Dushyant's grieving family has vowed to challenge the parole order, saying they were not informed and that justice feels hollow when murder convicts walk free, even temporarily, to celebrate life's milestones. The wedding, scheduled for January 24, 2026, has sparked intense public debate, with some arguing that it is a story of reform and second chances, while others see it as a painful reminder of a son lost in horrifying circumstances. The case raises questions about the effectiveness of the prison reform system and the possibility of violent offenders being rehabilitated.
