Kanpur: Police on Saturday arrested a 28-year-old man for allegedly choking his wife to death because she suspected she was dating another man. Defendant Sandeep, a street vendor and resident of the Purwa area of Wazirganj in Unnao, had asked his wife Usha not to use the phone for a long time. On Friday night, while she was back busy chatting on the phone, he warned her again. However, when she wasn’t careful, he got into an argument that lasted for a few hours. As things snowballed, Sandeep beat his wife and later strangled her to death.
A police officer said that when the locals alerted them, the police rushed to the scene, but by that time Usha was dead. “Sandeep had strangled her,” said one police officer. Officers who reached the site took Sandeep into custody. Usha’s parents lodged a complaint with the police against her husband, who was later arrested and charged with murder under the relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code. Inspector Purwa Kotwali Chandrakant said their investigation shows Sandeep previously suspected his wife of cheating on him. tnn
