A man allegedly bludgeoned his wife to death, seriously injured his mother-in-law when she tried to intervene, and later died by suicide by hanging himself from a nearby tree. Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: A dispute over a woman staying at her parental home ended in a double tragedy in Hingoli district on Wednesday evening.
Both families are engaged in farming, according to police. Hingoli superintendent of police Shrenik Lodha said, “Deepali had married Vishal, a resident of Dhanora Jahangir village. Police said Vishal had repeatedly asked Deepali to return with him.
However, she had returned to her parental home, in Kharwad village of Kalamnuri taluka, after Vishal allegedly began harassing her following their marriage. She had been staying with her parents at their agricultural field for the past few days. An argument broke out between the couple over her decision to stay with her parents. Some time later, Kamalbai’s husband and son arrived at the farm, found the victims and took them to hospital. They then alerted the police. During the subsequent search, police found Vishal hanging from a tree a few metres away from the scene of the crime. Senior officers visited the spot and carried out a panchanama.
On Wednesday evening, he went to her parents’ farm to convince her to come back. Based on Kamalbai’s complaint, Kalamnuri police on Thursday registered a murder case against Vishal.
