Bengaluru: Husband brutally assaults wife to death with rolling pin
Bengaluru: A 26-year-old woman, Preethi Singh, tragically passed away on October 2, after sustaining severe injuries from an assault by her husband, Chottelal Singh, at their residence in Chokkasandra on September 24.
Preethi and Chottelal, originally from Madhya Pradesh, both worked at a private company in Bengaluru. Chottelal was employed as a helper at the workplace, as reported by Deccan Herald on Tuesday.
According to the police, Chottelal had a history of subjecting Preethi to both mental and physical abuse. On the day of the incident, an argument erupted when Preethi returned home for lunch, which quickly escalated into a violent confrontation. Chottelal allegedly beat her on the head and body with a rolling pin.
The truth came to light when the couple's two children confided in Preethi's employer about the assault. The employer then took action by filing a formal complaint with the Peenya police, the report added.
Chottelal was arrested on September 25 and initially charged with assault. However, after Preethi passed away following several days in a coma, the charge was subsequently upgraded to murder.

Mangaluru: Teacher booked for allegedly beating student in school
Vittla (Dakshina Kannada): A case has been registered at the Vittla Police Station against a school teacher on charges of seriously assaulting a student with a cane at an English-medium school in Idkidu village here near Vittla in Dakshina Kannada district.
According to the complaint, the student, who attends the school regularly, had gone to school as usual. Around 2 pm, the child’s parents received a call from the school office stating that their child had allegedly disturbed other students. The school informed them that when the teacher scolded the student over the issue, the child became frightened and urinated, and the parents were asked to come and take the child home.
The parents reportedly told the school staff that no one was at home at the time and requested that the child be sent home in an autorickshaw.
After returning home, the student told the parents that a teacher identified as Istikaar had beaten him severely on the hand with a cane. The child also said that he urinated out of fear while the assault was taking place.
When the parents contacted the teacher over the phone to question him about the incident, he allegedly responded in a dismissive manner.
Following this, the parents lodged complaints with the Vittla Police Station and the Child Development Project Office, seeking justice and strict action against the teacher for allegedly assaulting the child without any valid reason.
Police have registered a case against the teacher and have taken up further investigation.
