Police said the woman suspected that her husband was having an affair.
In a shocking incident from Uttar Pradesh, a woman allegedly poisoned her husband just hours after observing a Karwa Chauth fast to pray for his long life. According to officials from the Kada Dham police station in Kaushambi district, 32-year-old Shailesh Kumar was killed by his wife, Savita, who suspected him of having an affair.
On Sunday, Savita was fasting for Shailesh as part of the Karwa Chauth ritual, while he made arrangements for the evening celebrations. After breaking her fast, an argument broke out between the couple, but it appeared to be resolved shortly after. They shared a meal together, and then Savita asked Shailesh to fetch something from a neighbor’s house before fleeing the scene.
The shocking twist of events has left the local community in disbelief. Investigations are ongoing as authorities seek to uncover the details surrounding this tragic incident.
