A 28-year-old woman was killed allegedly by her husband over the issue of a second marriage.
The crime took place in the limits of Miyapur police station in the early hours on Wednesday. According to police, the accused, Pandari, killed his wife B Archana, 28, by bludgeoning her with a cement brick and pressure cooker, at their residence in MA Nagar.
While Pandari was a native of Narayankhed, Archana hailed from Maharashtra. They were married about 10 years ago and had a boy and two girls. The family migrated to the city few years ago and Pandari was running a chat bhandar for a living.
Pandari was reportedly planning to perform second marriage since Archana went to her parent’s house due to ill-health. She returned home about two days ago and had a heated argument with Pandari on the issue. In the early hours of today, while Archana was fast asleep, Pandari bludgeoned her to death and fled the spot. Miyapur police registered a case of murder and began investigations. (INN)
