Man bludgeons wife to death with bat after heated quarrel in Udaipur

UDAIPUR: A man bludgeoned his wife to death with a cricket bat under Saira police limits of Udaipur district on Thursday. The gruesome incident took place in Maliyon ki Bhagal village of Gundali gram panchayat.
Police said Bhurki and her husband Rooplal Gameti had a heated argument. The dual went to such an extent that Rooplal picked up a cricket bat and hit Bhurki with it several times. Their children, who tried to rescue their mother, were also thrashed by their father. Bhurki died on the spot while Rooplal fled from the spot, police said.
Bhurki's relatives told police that Rooplal worked in Udaipur and had returned home after three months due to strict lockdown. Since his return, he had been picking up fights with his wife without reason and abused her.
On Thursday, too, they both had an argument and Rooplal abused and thrashed her. Bhurki resisted him which infuriated him so much that in a fit of rage, he picked up a cricket bat kept in the house and bludgeoned her to death. Police teams have been set out to search the man while Bhurki’s body was shifted to a mortuary.
