Luring Preetham to get him butterfly, Nagaraj Murthy took him to the tank, pushed him into it and killed, it is said.

Bareilly (UP), May 18 (PTI): A court here has sentenced a man to life imprisonment for starving his wife to death in 2021.

Additional District and Sessions Judge Gyanendra Tripathi on Saturday also imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 on the convict Manoj.

Manoj, a resident of Kareli village, had locked his wife Mamta without food and water in a room for a week following a quarrel, Additional District Government Advocate (ADGC) Sunil Pandey said.

The matter came to light when neighbours complained to police about a foul smell emanating from his house. Police found Mamta's decomposed body wrapped in a blanket under the bed.

A case was subsequently filed against Manoj by Mamta's father.

Pandey said the court found that Mamta died due to hunger and thirst.
