A domestic dispute tragically culminated in the death of a 43-year-old private bank loan agent, identified as Rajashekhar, in Bengaluru's Lakshmipura area. On Wednesday night, his 35-year-old wife, Malashri, allegedly stabbed him in the chest-abdomen region with a kitchen knife following a heated argument.
The couple, married for five years, reportedly quarrelled frequently over their childlessness and Rajashekhar's alleged drinking. On the night of the incident, Rajashekhar is said to have returned home intoxicated, leading to an argument where he blamed Malashri for their inability to have children.
Neighbours, alerted by the commotion, discovered Rajashekhar severely injured and alerted the police. He was pronounced dead upon arrival at Victoria Hospital. During questioning, Malashri admitted to stabbing her husband, explaining that he was abusive and violent when under the influence of alcohol.
