Man drowns wife for refusing to have sex with tantrik
Aligarh, Jun 14: A 32-year-old woman was allegedly drowned in a river here by her husband for refusing to have sex with a tantrik (occultist), police said Friday.
According to police, the incident took place Thursday.
The woman's husband and the occultist have been nabbed by police.
Police said the crime was witnessed by the victim's teenage son, who screamed for help when the woman's husband, Maanpal, was executing his plan.
The victim's brother alleged that the accused had warned his son that he would meet the same fate if he tried to rescue his mother.
SSP Akash Kulhari said victim's brother Rajesh Kumar, in a complaint to the Dadon police station, said his panic-stricken sister had called him two days ago, urging him to intervene.
Initially, the matter appeared to have been resolved amicably but Thursday the events took another twist when Maanpal persuaded his wife to accompany him to a nearby river and pushed her into it, he told police.
After executing the plan, Maanpal and the tantrik, identified as Santdas Durga Das, swam across the river, fleeing to neighbouring Badaun district.
"On receiving the complaint, police managed to nab the duo. Police also recovered the body from the river,"Kulhari said.
He added that Santdas Durga Das had a criminal record.
Last year, a large quantity of heroin was recovered from him in a police raid, he said.

2 killed, 5 injured in firing after mob storms CRPF camp in Manipur's Bishnupur: State home minister
Imphal (PTI): Manipur Home Minister Govindas Konthoujam on Tuesday said two persons were killed and five others injured in firing after a mob stormed a CRPF camp in Bishnupur district.
A large number of youths and women held a protest against the killing of two children in a bomb attack by suspected militants in Moirang Tronglaobi area earlier in the day, he said.
The protesters stormed the CRPF camp near Gelmol, a few 100 metres from the bomb attack site, burnt vehicles and vandalised properties there, he said.
"I had urged the protesters not to enter the CRPF camp and to allow security forces to focus on conducting an operation to apprehend those involved in the bomb attack," the minister said.
But the demonstrators did not pay heed to the appeal.
"They stormed the CRPF camp, burnt vehicles and vandalised portions of the camp, leading to firing by security personnel. They fired either in self-defence or in anger. Two persons, unfortunately, died in the firing, while five others sustained bullet injuries," the state home minister said.
