Man held for beating ailing wife to death after she defecates in bed in UP’s Saharanpur: Police

Kumar and Alka got married 10 years ago but they did not have children. This was a bone of contention between them as Kumar allegedly blamed Alka for not being able to become a father, the police said.

“The First Information Report (FIR) was lodged by her brother Alok (32) who alleged that Sandeep Kumar was unemployed for the last few years and his sister used to frequently ask him to find jobs but instead he started ill-treating her for the last two years as the couple had no children. Sandeep has been arrested and Alka’s body will be handed over to the family members after the post-mortem examination,” said Chandrasen Saini, the in-charge of Qutubsher police station in Saharanpur.

The police said that Alka had been very ill for the last two months and the family had been finding it hard to meet the medical expenses because Kumar had been unemployed for the last two years. “There were many factors behind the murder,” said Saini.
