An Indiana man named Darshan Soni was recently charged with conspiracy to commit murder, based on the accounts of two co-workers who informed the police about his alleged attempts to involve them in a plan to kill his wife.

According to details from court documents obtained by WXIN, a local Fox affiliate, 44-year-old Soni was accused of trying to persuade one of his colleagues at Compass Property Group to carry out the murder of his wife. Another co-worker, who remained anonymous, disclosed their own conversation with Soni where he supposedly inquired about where to buy a silencer for a gun. This co-worker reported their discussions with Soni to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department on May 12, leading to the initiation of an investigation into Soni’s actions.

The police said that Soni may have also allegedly attempted to kill his wife himself before turning to his co-workers.

WXIN’s report mentioned that the anonymous co-worker also shared information with another Compass employee, who claimed that Soni had asked if he would be interested in killing his wife and specified the amount of money he would be willing to pay for such a task. This employee further stated that Soni mentioned creating an “alibi” by having someone hold onto his phone, which would give the impression that Soni was elsewhere at the time of the intended crime.

According to the court documents that were also obtained by local ABC affiliate WRTV, that employee also reportedly looked into getting cash to purchase a Ford Escape, which Soni allegedly intended to use to transport the employee who would kill Soni’s wife. Soni allegedly gave the employee $2,000 in April to put toward the car.

WRTV reported that Soni’s alleged plot was apparently in the works for months, possibly as long as a year. The employee, who cooperated with the police in exchange for immunity, told authorities that Soni had allegedly spoken with him about different kinds of poisons and criminal activities.

But before Soni allegedly turned to his co-workers for advice on how to kill his wife, he may have attempted to commit the act himself. According to the documents, Soni’s wife told police that in November 2024, she experienced “quite serious” nerve pain and sciatica, and was found to have thyroid issues earlier this year.
