Tragic Domestic Dispute Leads to Wife's Murder

Details of the Incident

The husband claimed that his wife had a habit of chewing gutkha, which he disapproved of. However, the police suspect that jealousy was the motive behind the murder. During the interrogation, he revealed that his wife worked in various households and often spoke on her mobile phone, which led to frequent arguments.

Hemant, the husband, fled after locking his wife's body in a room. He strangled her with a dupatta. This was the woman's second marriage, having divorced her first husband. Hemant was also married for the second time after the death of his first wife. He has a history of alcohol abuse, which his wife opposed. She was the primary breadwinner of the family.

In a fit of rage during an argument, he strangled her with the dupatta, resulting in her death. Panicking, he locked her body in the room and escaped. He later called his family to inform them about the murder, attributing it to her gutkha consumption, a claim that the police find hard to believe. Multiple questions were posed to him, revealing that he harbored suspicions about his wife.

Attempts at Reconciliation
Frustrated with the constant bickering, the woman had left her husband's home and moved back to her parental house. Just ten days prior, Hemant had pleaded with the local council to bring her back home. Despite this, their disputes continued.
