22 Jul
Summary
- Woman arrested for allegedly murdering husband over sarees.
- Autopsy revealed injuries inconsistent with claimed heart attack.
- Couple's seven-year-old son sought help during the fatal argument.
In Badlapur East, a 30-year-old woman, Sunita Hariram Singh, has been arrested following the death of her husband, Hariram Kishunji Singh, 35. The incident, which occurred on July 19, reportedly stemmed from a domestic dispute over sarees.
The couple, originally from Bihar, had been residing in Badlapur for nine years. Their seven-year-old son was present during the altercation and reportedly sought assistance from room owners.
Investigators uncovered inconsistencies in Sunita's account that her husband had died of a heart attack after an argument. A post-mortem examination revealed injuries not consistent with natural causes, prompting police to register a murder case.
During questioning, Sunita confessed to assaulting her husband with a pressure cooker lid and strangling him. She is now booked under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The child is under the care of relatives.
