The victim, identified as Manjula, had been married to Pradeep for 15 years, and the couple had two children. According to her family members, frequent disputes had arisen due to Pradeep’s alleged addiction to online betting and his repeated suspicions about Manjula’s fidelity. They claimed he often questioned the paternity of their children, prompting Manjula to move in with her mother along with the children around six weeks ago.
Police said Pradeep arrived at the residence carrying a knife concealed inside his jacket and initially pleaded with Manjula to reconcile. He allegedly apologised for his past conduct and even fell at her feet, asking her to return home. However, when she refused, he reportedly attacked her with the knife, stabbing her multiple times in front of her mother and the couple’s children.
