Belagavi (PTI): Police on Friday said they arrested a 28-year-old man for allegedly strangling his wife to death following a domestic dispute.
The deceased has been identified as Rajeshwari Gilakkanavar (21), while the accused, Fakirappa Basappa Gilakkanavar, a farmer, was taken into police custody.
The incident occurred on Tuesday night in Neginhal village, Bailhongal taluk, police said.
According to authorities, the couple had been married for three years and reportedly had frequent domestic quarrels due to not having children.
Rajeshwari had informed her husband that she intended to visit her parental home as her younger brother had injured his hand.
The accused allegedly objected, citing excessive agricultural work, which led to a heated argument, a senior police officer said.
The quarrel escalated, and in a fit of rage, he allegedly strangled Rajeshwari with a rope while she was lying down, resulting in her death, the officer added.
A case has been registered, and further investigation is underway.

Chennai: Actor-politician Vijay has reportedly not been invited to take oath as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after failing to demonstrate support from the required number of MLAs, sources in Raj Bhavan said.
According to media reports that quoted sources in the office of R.N. Ravi Arlekar, Vijay could not prove the backing of 118 legislators, the majority mark in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly.
Despite last-minute efforts to secure support from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazagam (AMMK), and an IUML legislator, Vijay reportedly managed support from only 116 MLAs, falling short by two members.
Sources said Vijay failed to submit letters of support from the VCK and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML).
Later, the IUML issued a statement clarifying that it was not part of the TVK-led alliance.
Meanwhile, AMMK leader T.T.V. Dhinakaran is also said to have informed the Governor that his party would support the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) instead.
Earlier in the evening, Vijay had met Governor Arlekar and staked claim to form the government, stating that he enjoyed the support of 118 MLAs.
