UP man beats wife to death with iron rod after wife objects to his drinking habit, arrested

Uttar Pradesh Police on Saturday arrested a man for allegedly killing his wife with an iron road during an argument. The man beat her wife to death after she raised objections over his drinking habits.

The accused, identified as Hemant, was a resident of Mahrajganj’s Ghughli area. According to the police, Hemant used to drink a lot and his wife, Pratibha, used to make a fuss over his alcoholic habit.

The reports state that the two had an argument on Friday night over the same issue during which Hemant beat her with an iron rod.

Pratibha was covered in blood and was rushed to the district hospital for treatment, however, doctors declared her brought dead.

The case is being probed by the Ghugli Police Station. The officials said that strict action will be taken against Pratibha’s husband.

A horrific incident also came to light two days ago from North Delhi when a 28-year-old man beat his sick wife to death over not doing household chores and refusing to cook for him.

The accused, Bajrangi Gupta, accused his wife of being lazy and disinterested in doing household chores and in a fit of anger, he killed his wife.

The incident happened when Gupta returned from work late at night and found that his wife had not cooked him anything. This angered him and he reportedly picked up a wooden stick and hit her until she collapsed on the floor.
