LUCKNOW: A man allegedly murdered his wife and then tried to commit suicide by hanging himself in his residence in Alambagh on Tuesday morning.
According to police, the accused, Sushil Kumar Yadav (40) is a cab driver and killed his wife, Meera (35) by hitting her with an iron rod on the head. Thereafter, he called U and said that he has killed his wife and is going to commit suicide. U alerted Alambagh police which reached the spot and nabbed Yadav.
Police sent Meera’s body for post-mortem and said that the accused has been hospitalised in a local hospital as he tested Covid-19 positive during routine medical examination before being sent to jail.
Brijesh Yadav, a relative of Meera, told police that the couple got married in 2009, but had no child from the wedlock. As a result, he claimed, Sushil’s mother used to coax him to divorce Meera and marry another woman. He said that Meera had lodged a complaint of harassment against her husband with the police earlier, but later compromised and the case was settled.
Shobhavati Yadav, mother of the deceased, told police that Sushil was also flirting with the widow of her son Daya who died six months ago. When Meera objected to this relationship, Sushil got enraged and took this action, she alleged.
SHO Alambagh, Anil Kumar Singh said that a case of murder has been lodged against Sushil. The accused, he said, has been admitted to a hospital after he tested Covid-19 positive in a rapid test. Now, he added, Sushil’s samples have been sent for confirmatory RT-PCR test and further action will be taken after the report arrives.
