Uttar Pradesh: Man kills wife for 'chatting with other men' over phone, Facebook

Kanpur: Angry with his wife for "chatting with other men" over phone and social networking websites, a man allegedly pushed her in the Ganges leading to her death. The accused - Ravi Chaurasia - married the victim, Rubi, after his first wife left him along with their baby two years ago, police said on August 3.

Chaurasia claimed Rubi used to chat with other men over phone and Facebook which led to frequent fights between them. During one such fight yesterday on Ganga Barrage, Ravi pushed her in the river after she threatened to jump into it.

Ravi, who was trying to flee, was caught by onlookers and handed over to the cops, a police official said. Rubi's body was found floating in the river late last night, he said, adding, Ravi has been put behind bars and a case has been registered.
