Varanasi Man Kills Wife, Commits Suicide by Train

A tragic incident unfolded on Monday in Varanasi, India, as a 40-year-old man named Dhani Maurya allegedly killed his 35-year-old wife, Suman alias Sumitra, before taking his own life.

According to the police, the couple was engaged in a heated argument at their home in the Lohamandi area under the Katra Kotwali police station. The dispute reportedly turned violent, and Maurya, who worked as a Chinese cuisine cook at a local hotel, stabbed his wife Suman in the chest with a knife, killing her instantly.

Hearing Suman's screams, neighbors rushed to the scene, but by then, Maurya had already fled. He later died by suicide, jumping in front of a moving train near the Lanka Pahadi area in the Dehat police station jurisdiction.
