Nirmal: The Nirmal district police arrested a woman for allegedly killing her husband in Limba-B village of Kuntala mandal in Nirmal district and attempting to enact it as an alcohol-related accidental death.
Bhainsa Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) P Sai Kiran, at a press conference, said Dothare Balaji (35), was addicted to alcohol and frequently used to harass his wife, Pirabai (24). Three days ago, Balaji, in an intoxicated state, allegedly picked a quarrel with his grandfather, Piraji, and assaulted him without any provocation.
Family members intervened, separated them and sent Balaji home. Pirabai followed her husband home, where an argument ensued. During the altercation, she allegedly strangled Balaji with his shirt, killing him on the spot.
To conceal the crime, she tried to make it appear that Balaji died after accidentally putting a gas cylinder on himself under the influence of alcohol. She also destroyed evidence and made arrangements for the funeral, claiming that he had died due to excessive alcohol consumption.
However, the deceased's relatives grew suspicious over the circumstances surrounding the death and alerted the police. During investigation, police gathered evidence pointing to Pirabai's alleged involvement in the murder. She was subsequently arrested, and further investigation is underway.
