Jharkhand: Woman held for poisoning husband to death month after marriage
Garhwa (Jharkhand), Jun 17 (PTI): The police arrested a 20-year-old woman on the charge of poisoning her husband to death around a month after their wedding in Jharkhand’s Garhwa district, an officer said on Tuesday.
The woman was arrested after her mother-in-law lodged a complaint with the police. The accused was forwarded to jail on Tuesday.
The incident occurred in Bahokudar village, under the jurisdiction of Ranka police station, on Sunday evening.
Budhnath Singh, the deceased, married Sunita on May 11.
“Sunita Singh allegedly laced her husband’s dinner with a poisonous substance on Sunday evening, and he died the same day. A sample of the poison from the deceased has been preserved for testing to determine its nature,” Ranka Sub-Divisional Police Officer Rohit Ranjan Singh told PTI.
It is reported to police that the relationship between the newlyweds was strained, the SDPO said.
He said that Sunita initially accused her mother-in-law of poisoning her son.
“Later, she confessed to the crime, and she was sent to jail on Tuesday,” he said.

40 Palestinians killed in Gaza as Netanyahu, Trump meet over ceasefire
Deir al-Balah (Gaza Strip), Jul 9 (AP): At least 40 Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip, hospital officials said Wednesday, as international mediators raced to complete a ceasefire deal.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had a second meeting in two days with US President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday evening. Trump has been pushing for a ceasefire that might lead to an end to the 21-month war in Gaza. Israel and Hamas are considering a new US-backed ceasefire proposal that would pause the war, free Israeli hostages and send much-needed aid into Gaza.
Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis said the dead included included 17 women and 10 children. It said one strike killed 10 people from the same family, including three children.
The Israeli military did not comment on specific strikes, but said it had struck more than 100 targets across Gaza over the past day, including Hamas members, booby-trapped structures, weapons storage facilities, missile launchers and tunnels. Israel accuses Hamas of hiding weapons and fighters among civilians.
