Ex-Convict Kills Wife Suspecting Infidelity
2 Oct
Summary
- Man arrested for allegedly beating wife to death on infidelity suspicion.
- He was released from prison three months prior after a murder sentence.
- Autopsy and neighbor accounts contradicted his accidental death claim.
A man, Roshan Sahakar, 42, has been arrested in Nagpur for allegedly beating his wife, Lakshmi, 36, to death. Sahakar, who was released from prison just three months ago after serving a 17-year sentence for murder, is accused of assaulting his wife due to suspicions of infidelity. He initially claimed Lakshmi had fallen and sustained head injuries, but medical examinations and witness statements contradicted his account.
The incident occurred on Thursday when Lakshmi collapsed at their residence. Sahakar took her to a local hospital, from where she was referred to Mayo Hospital. Doctors declared her deceased upon arrival. An autopsy revealed multiple internal head injuries, prompting police to investigate further.
Neighbors reportedly told investigators that Sahakar frequently accused Lakshmi of infidelity and would assault her, especially after consuming alcohol. Some neighbors allegedly witnessed him hitting her on the head on the day of the incident. Sahakar had been living with Lakshmi and their two children since his release in July 2026. He was convicted in a 2006 murder case. Police have registered a murder case against him.
