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.

Former minister C M Ibrahim announces to launch new regional party for Karnataka
Kalaburagi: Two years after being expelled from the Janata Dal (Secular), former minister C.M. Ibrahim has announced that he will launch a new regional political party in Karnataka on January 24, reported Deccan Herald.

Ibrahim emphasised that the organisation would be guided by the principles of 12th-century social reformer Basavanna and the architect of the Indian Constitution, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar.
A veteran politician, Ibrahim served as Union Civil Aviation Minister during the tenure of H.D. Deve Gowda as Prime Minister and later headed the Karnataka unit of the Janata Dal (Secular). He was expelled from the JD(S) in 2023 on charges of anti-party activities.
His exit from the party followed sharp differences over the JD(S) decision to ally with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). As the then state president of the JD(S), Ibrahim had publicly criticised the alliance, claiming it was finalised without his knowledge. He had also reportedly convened meetings of his supporters and expressed support for the INDIA bloc.
