Man held for killing wife with rolling pin in Bengaluru
Bengaluru (PTI): A man has been arrested for allegedly assaulting his wife with a rolling pin, resulting in her death, police said on Tuesday.
Preeti Singh (28) and her husband Chota Lal Singh (32), originally from Madhya Pradesh, have been residing with their two children in Chokkasandra. The couple was working in a private company, they said.
The husband, who was employed as a helper at the company, allegedly subjected his wife to frequent mental and physical harassment without reason.
On September 24, when the wife returned home in the afternoon for lunch, the husband, as usual, picked a quarrel and attacked her with a rolling pin used for making chapatis, striking her severely on the head and body.
Later, the injured wife was taken to a hospital in T Dasarahalli, where the husband tried to conceal the assault and informed the doctors that his wife had fallen from a building, they added.
The couple’s two children went to the owner of the company where their mother was employed and disclosed that their father had assaulted their mother.
The owner of the company then lodged a complaint at Peenya police station, following which the accused was taken into custody for questioning. During interrogation, he confessed to brutally assaulting his wife with a rolling pin, a police officer said.
He was formally arrested and produced before the Court the same day, which remanded him to judicial custody.
On October 2, while undergoing treatment, the wife succumbed to her injuries, police said.

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.
