Punjilal Meher worked with the victim’s mother in Orissa state, police said.
They say he plotted the revenge killing after she was promoted over him at their work place – a state college.
The shocking killing in February riveted India and led the police to question more than 100 people, mostly relatives and friends of the couple.
Soumya Sekhar Sahu, a 26-year-old software engineer, was killed and his 22-year-old wife Reema was seriously injured when he opened a parcel addressed to him, five days after their marriage.
