PUNE: The Warje Malwadi police on Sunday arrested a 30-year-old woman for allegedly throttling her drunk husband to death on Friday night. The woman has confessed that she killed her husband as he was trying to strangulate her first.
The woman, Sushmadevi Shivprasad, of Gosavi Vasti in Karvenagar, took her husband, Hiraprasad (35), to a private hospital on Saturday morning, claiming that he had fallen from the bed and lost consciousness.
However, when the police questioned the couple's 14-year-old daughter on Saturday afternoon, she revealed that her parents had fought the previous night and that her mother had throttled Hiraprasad to death. The post-mortem report also stated that the death was not accidental.
The police said Hiraprasad worked as a labourer with a fabricator while Sushmadevi was working in a dining mess at Karvenagar. The family had come to Pune from Patna around six months back. Investigations have revealed that Hiraprasad, who was an alcoholic, used to routinely thrash his wife.
Inspector P N Solankar of the Warje Malwadi police station said that Sushmadevi initially told them at Sassoon hospital that Hiraprasad had fallen from the bed around 5.30 am on Saturday. She said that she and her brother took him to a private hospital on Karve road a couple of hours later. The hospital authorities told them to take Hiraprasad to Sassoon hospital, where he was declared dead on arrival.
The truth was revealed by the 14-year-old daughter, who told the police that Hiraprasad had come home drunk on Friday night, used abusive language and assaulted Sushmadevi. The girl said that when their father tried to strangulate their mother, she and her older sister intervened. However, their father thrashed them. In the meantime, Sushmadevi throttled Hiraprasad to death.
