Rajkot: Man suspects ex-wife of affair, stabs her to death

RAJKOT: Suspecting his former wife of making him a cuckold, a recently divorced man killed the woman and later surrendered to the police, albeit without any remorse over his vengeful act.
According to the police. accused Shailesh Panchasara called the police control room himself after killing his ex-wife Neha Parmar at around midnight on Friday and surrendered. The couple who has a three-year-old daughter out of their five years of marriage, had recently got divorced five months ago. The daughter was living with the deceased.
Shailesh, who started to have doubts on his paternity as he suspected Neha of having an extra marital affair, had gone to his house in Ghanteshwar area at around 9pm on Friday to clear his misgivings. Neha, who was living with her parents, did not tell them that she was going to meet Shailesh. She informed her parents that she was going to meet her cousin in Bajrangwadi area and will go to her work directly from her house the next day.
From Ghanteshwar, Shailesh took Neha to an isolated place near Atal Sarovar on the new Ring Road.
Here, he stabbed her but Neha started to scream after which he throttled her with a cloth piece.
Assistant commissioner of police (west), P K Diyora said, “After killing his wife, the accused informed the police control room. A police van went to the spot and he showed cops the body. The police then called up Neha’s parents to reach the crime spot to identify the body.”
During interrogation, the accused, who drives light commercial vehicles, alleged his ex-wife of having an affair and not taking proper care of their daughter. He was in search of an opportunity to confront her and sometime in between, Neha invited him to meet her, he said. However, cops are collecting evidences like call detail record and CCTV footage to substantiate the statement of the accused.
Meanwhile, father of the deceased woman who drives an autorickshaw, has alleged that the accused kept harassing his daughter even after divorce.
