Chhatarpur (Madhya Pradesh): A woman was strangled to death by her husband over a family dispute on Thursday.
Initial investigation revealed that the wife, Komal Yadav, doubted her husband’s character and often argued with him over a possible affair. These suspicions led to frequent quarrels between the couple, causing tension and mental stress in their relationship.
Her husband, Dashrath Yadav, carried out a planned attack on her along with three others. The three accomplices were staying in the same house on rent and were promised plots of land as an incentive to participate in the crime.
The murder took place following an argument over family issues in the Irrigation Colony under the Civil Lines police station area of Chhatarpur. Investigators revealed that the wife’s constant doubts about her husband’s fidelity had led to repeated fights. Over time, these arguments escalated, causing both emotional and mental disturbance for Dashrath, who became frustrated and angry. Eventually, this frustration led him to plan a brutal crime to eliminate the problem.
Komal Yadav and Dashrath Yadav had been living apart for a long time, adding to the tension in their relationship. Dashrath allegedly promised his accomplices plots of land to ensure their cooperation in executing the planned attack.
The police department carried out a detailed investigation, examining all possible angles and acting quickly. Within 24 hours of the incident, they were able to identify and apprehend the accused.
