In a horrific incident, a Karnataka police constable allegedly murdered his wife in her parents’ house and that too, after becoming the father of a baby boy just 11 days back.
The accused has been identified as Kishore D (32 yrs) and he used to doubt his wife, Prathiba (24 yrs) as he believed that she was having an extra-marital affair and he used to keep a check on her call details and messages.
Prathiba who was basically from Veerapura, Kolar district and was a BE computer science graduate got married to Kishore D in November last year.
On Sunday evening, Prathiba and Kishore had a fight over the phone because of which Prathiba cried profusely. Seeing her daughter’s poor condition, Prathiba’s mother disconnected the call and asked her daughter to calm herself down and not to take Kishore’s call as she has to take care of her son as well. Next morning, Prathiba informed her parents that Kishore called her 150 times in the night.
After some time, Prathiba’s mother saw that Kishore who travelled 230 km from Chamarajanagar town where he is posted, entered the first floor and locked the door from inside. Prathiba and her son were alone on the first floor and when Prathiba’s mother knocked at the door, she didn’t get any response. She kept knocking as she was worried and after 15 minutes, Kishore D came out and told his mother-in-law, “Kondu bitte avalna, kondu bitte” (I killed her, I killed her).
Kishore D had drunk insecticide before strangling his wife with dupatta and currently he is admitted in hospital and he will be arrested after getting discharged.
Prathiba’s father has also claimed that Kishore’s mother used to harass his daughter for dowry.
The culprits should be punished severely.
