AURANGABAD: A constable with the Parbhani police, Chitra Patil, was murdered by her husband Prashant Pandurang Patil in the wee hours of Friday. Prashant later went to his Nashik home and hanged himself at around 4pm.
Prashant reportedly suspected his wife's character and used to pick up fights.
"We had suspected the hand of Prashant and sent two teams to track him—one to Hingoli and the other to Nashik. Prashant had called Chitra's sister around 8.30pm on Thursday and said he was coming to Parbhani. He also asked the woman not to tell Chitra about it," inspector Vivek Muglikar of the Nanalpeth station said. "We found that Prashant had called his sister-in-law from Hingoli. He may have dumped his mobile phone in Hingoli and gone straight to Nashik," Muglikar told TOI.
"Chitra, who was three months pregnant, was posted at Purna police station and was living alone in the police quarters at Parbhani. Prima facie, it appears that she was smothered to death between 9pm on Thursday and 6am Friday,'' he said. Chitra's post-mortem report was inconclusive.
Chitra, who had joined police service in 2007, had married Prashant in 2010. He worked for a private company.
Chitra is said to have spoken to her sister before going to bed on Thursday. The murder came to light when her sister went to Chitra's flat the next morning and found the door open. Chitra was lying naked and some garbage had been stuffed in her mouth.
