A 35-year-old woman was allegedly strangled to death by her husband in a field in Baghpat, Uttar Pradesh, on Saturday. According to police, the incident occurred when the woman, Madhu, was taken to the field by her husband, Sandeep, under the pretext of picking guavas.
Sandeep, a resident of Baral village, reportedly took Madhu to the field on his motorcycle in the afternoon. It was there that he allegedly strangled her. Following the incident, Sandeep surrendered at the Ramala Police Station around 4 pm and confessed to killing his wife.
Police recovered the body from the field based on Sandeep’s information and sent it for a post-mortem examination. Sandeep’s past reveals that his first wife, Preeti, died of an illness in 2009. He then married his sister-in-law, Madhu, about two months later. The couple has a 15-year-old daughter, while Sandeep also has an 18-year-old son from his first marriage.
The police are currently investigating the motive behind the murder. Circle Officer Anshu Jain stated that they are working to determine whether the killing was the result of a family dispute, personal discord, or some other reason.
The case is currently under investigation, with police seeking to understand the circumstances that led to the alleged murder.
