BEGUSARAI/PATNA: A 24-year-old man killed his wife in Begusarai district late Friday night after she refused to give him Rs 25,000 to buy a cellphone. Police said that Vikrant Paswan assaulted his 20-year-old wife Kajal Kumari at Paswan Tola under Khodabandhpur police station around midnight.
The couple had heated argument over the issue in the evening. But Vikrant woke up around midnight and strangled Kajal. He hanged the body from the ceiling fan to make it appear to be a case of suicide. Vikrant, a daily wager, escaped. Kajal, who belonged to Sakh Mohan village in neighbouring Samastipur district, had got married to Vikrant in 2018.
Khodabandhpur SHO Dinesh Kumar said a complaint was lodged against Vikrant and his mother Neelam Devi had been arrested. Kajal’s mother Sheela Devi has accused her son-in-law of harassing her daughter for dowry.
In another incident, one Monu Kumar was shot dead by unidentified criminals near Batika Chowk under Phulwaria police outpost late Friday night. Police said Monu, a student of an engineering college in Purnia, was attacked when he had gone to attend a feast at his friend’s house on the occasion of Saraswati Puja.
SHO Jyoti Kumar said Monu’s father Ramdev Mandal is a native of Bhagalpur district and employed with railways. He lives with his family in Garhara Railway Colony in Begusarai.
On Friday evening, one Hema Maurya was gunned down when she had gone to attend the idol immersion in the Gandak canal. A case was lodged with the Naokothi police station in connection with the incident.
