On Tuesday morning, he came home and started crying that no one was helping him. He asked his son to get some snacks from outside saying that he was hungry and gave him money. After a while, when his 16-year-old daughter went to take a bath, Zala went into the bedroom where Hansaba was there. He locked the room from inside and started stabbing her.
Their daughter heard mother's screams for help but to no avail. After their son came home, he got another key and opened the door.
Zala had escaped from the window. Accused later took his mini-SUV to the service station and then went to search for a lawyer.
Zala had developed severe disputes with his wife over the past three months and had even attacked her on April 12 with a sword. After the attack, he used to stay away from the family.
"We saved the woman's life on April 12 but this time, Zala fooled his children. His son searched my number from the internet and called me as he called me as Zala was attacking the woman with a sword. I had sent a team and the police reached in time," said M L Salunke, police inspector, Dindoli police station.
Zala had stolen her phone three months ago and retrieved old images.
