During interrogation, Gala regretted his action
During the interrogation, Gala said that he regretted his action. According to police sources, he allegedly attacked his neighbours as he felt that incited his wife against him. The investigation, so far, has revealed that Gala didn't take up any job for the past 12 years and eked out a livelihood from the rent of a shop left behind by his father. As the house expenses were not met, Gala and his wife had frequent quarrels and she subsequently left him.
