Objecting to her husband's alleged extramarital affair proved fatal for a 22-year-old woman in Jharkhand's Palamu district, where she was shot dead by him.
The incident took place on Monday night in Naudiha village, under the jurisdiction of Patan police station, PTI reported, citing unnamed police officials.
The victim has been identified as Simran Devi, while her husband, Vinit Singh, was named as the accused. The couple had married in February this year.
Sub-divisional police officer (SDPO) of Medininagar, Mani Bhushan Prasad, said the husband has been absconding since the incident, and raids are underway to arrest him.
“The initial investigation suggests that the man had an illicit relationship with another woman, which was opposed by his wife. They argued the issue on Monday night during which the husband shot her wife dead in anger,” the SDPO said.
