Vandana's family alleged that Tanmay would frequently return home intoxicated and physically abuse her. On Thursday night, he allegedly assaulted her again, leading to her death.
A police officer said that the initial probe revealed that the man is a habitual drinker. On Thursday night around 11 pm, he returned home and asked his wife for food; when Vandana reportedly told him to serve himself, it triggered a heated argument between the couple.
