Woman hacks husband to death 15 days after marriage in Sangli district, arrested
Sangli, June 11 (PTI): Even as ripples caused by the Raja Raghuvanshi murder case from Meghalaya to Madhya Pradesh yet to subside, police in Maharashtra's Sangli district have arrested a 27-year-old woman for allegedly killing her 53-year-old husband with an axe, just 15 days after their wedding.
Police claimed the accused woman attacked her husband, Anil Lokhande, around 12.30 am on Wednesday after he insisted on consummating their 15-day-old marriage.
The couple is a resident of Kupwad tehsil in Sangli district, a police official said.
He said it was Lokhande's second marriage as his first wife had died of cancer.
Police said Lokhande's wife was irked by his insistence on consummating the marriage, leading to a heated exchange between them.
"In a fit of rage, the accused, identified as Radhika, fatally attacked her husband with an axe when he was asleep in bed," said a police officer from Kupwad MIDC police station.
He said the woman has been arrested under the relevant sections of Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita and further probe is on.

Police suspect Sonam hatched a conspiracy to murder Raja in collaboration with her alleged lover.
Police have arrested Sonam and four others so far.

The woman alleged that once she complied, the accused began making obscene advances and tried to force himself on her. When she screamed, he allegedly gagged her, abused her and threatened to kill her before pushing her out of the room.
She said her complaints within the hospital went unheard, forcing her to approach the police.
Taking cognisance of the complaint, the hospital administration constituted a three-member inquiry committee, officials said.
Senior consultant (paediatrics) Dr Jay Kumar said, "The woman has levelled serious allegations against a staff member. Senior officials have been informed, and a departmental inquiry is underway. Strict action will be taken if the charges are proved."
Kotwali Station House Officer Chatrapal Singh said a case has been registered, and efforts are on to nab the accused.
