Affair gone wrong: woman strangled

Sangeeta and Ashok had entered into a verbal dual at around 8 pm on Thursday, following which, he strangled her to death, Sangeeta8217;s husband Balram Mauriya told the police. Mauriya said that on Wednesday too, the duo had had a duel which was later sorted out.

Mauriya rushed to Ashok8217;s rented accommodation in Mauli village on Thursday after Sangeeta did not return home, where he found the room bolted from inside.

Mauriya said he saw Ashok strangling his wife and Sangeeta was dead by the time he could help.

Preliminary investigations revealed the two were having an extra-marital affair for the past couple of years and Ashok was insisting that she marry him. As Sangeeta was reluctant, the issue snow-balled, revealed the SHO. Both Sangeeta and Ashok have two children from their marriages.
