In a shocking incident, a 38-year-old woman has been arrested for the murder of her husband in Maharashtra’s Pune, after he refused to take her to Dubai for her birthday celebration. The incident occurred at the couple’s flat in a posh residential society in Pune’s Wanavdi area on Friday, after the accused punched 36-year-old Nikhil Khanna on the nose during a fight.
According to police, the accused, identified as Renuka, and Nikhil– a businessman in the construction industry– had a love marriage six years ago.
During prima facie, police found that on Friday afternoon, the couple had a fight because Nikhil did not take Renuka to Dubai to celebrate her birthday and did not give her expensive gifts on her birthday as well as the anniversary.
“Renuka was also upset with Nikhil for not giving a favorable response to her wish to go to Delhi to celebrate the birthdays of some relatives,” an official said.
During the fight, in a fit of rage, Renuka punched Nikhil in the face. “The impact of the punch was so hard that Nikhil’s nose and some teeth were broken. With heavy bleeding, Nikhil lost consciousness,” the official said.
The police has registered a case into the matter and booked Renuka under section 302 (punishment for murder) of Indian Penal Code and arrested her for further investigation.
