24 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Man allegedly beat his eight-month pregnant wife to death.
- The accused claimed natural death, but suspicious injuries led to arrest.
- Wife's brother alleged abuse due to husband's drinking habit.
A man in Ludhiana has been arrested for allegedly causing the death of his eight-month pregnant wife during a violent episode fueled by alcohol. The suspect, Vijay Kumar, reportedly attempted to disguise the incident as a natural death, but visible injuries on the deceased, Pushpa, aroused suspicion among authorities.
Pushpa's brother, Ajay, informed the police that Vijay frequently subjected Pushpa to physical abuse when intoxicated, particularly because she urged him to stop drinking. The fatal assault occurred on Monday, during which Pushpa sustained injuries, including to her nose, suggesting she may have fought back defensively.
Despite the apparent struggle, Vijay claimed Pushpa died from a fit, a condition she was reportedly prone to. However, the presence of bruises on her body contradicted this narrative, leading to his arrest. The incident highlights a tragic case of domestic violence and its devastating consequences.
