Barabanki man kills wife, calls father-in-law to collect body
LUCKNOW, Nov. 5 -- A 30-year-old woman was allegedly strangled to death by her husband following a domestic dispute at their home in Barabanki's Rasoolpur locality around midnight on Tuesday.
The accused allegedly called his father-in-law after the murder, confessed to killing his daughter and asked him to collect the body before locking the house and fleeing.
Additional SP Vivek Tiwari said, "He told his father-in-law that he had killed his wife. We are searching for him," he said.
The crime came to light around 7 am when the woman's father, Dharmesh, reached her husband's (Sandeep) house and found it locked.
After a local resident alerted Dial-112, police broke open the lock and found Seema's body inside.
Dharmesh, a resident of Safdarganj, about 18 km from the city, said Sandeep had called him around midnight, initially mentioning a dispute with his wife before telling him that he had killed her and was leaving. He also asked him not to contact him again.
Seema had married Sandeep through a court marriage about 10 years ago.
The couple had an eight-year-old daughter, who lives with her paternal grandmother, Sunita.
Sunita alleged that the couple frequently quarrelled over Seema's alleged relationship with another man, whom she claimed visited their house in Sandeep's absence.
She also alleged that Seema had once left home with him but returned after 10 days.
ASP Tiwari and City circle officer Aftab Alam inspected the spot. A forensic team also examined the scene. htc...
