| Ahmedabad man murders wife |
A man has been held in Ahmedabad for allegedly murdering his wife after a domestic dispute over dinner ensued into a violent exchange between the couple on September 7 night in Narol.
31-year-old Pragya was found strangled in her home, and her husband, Pradeep Vankar, has been taken into custody after he voluntarily surrendered to the authorities and admitted to committing the crime.
The dispute reportedly began as a minor argument over dinner in the evening. But the turn of events went south, and in a fit of anger, Pradeep strangled Pragya.
After realising the gravity of his acts, Pradeep went to the Narol police station at around 10 pm, where he confessed to the murder.
Following this, police contacted Pragya’s mother through her phone to inform her of the tragic event.
Pragya’s mother, Urmila Vyas, the formal complainant in this case, revealed that the couple had not shown any signs of marital discord until this incident.
Speaking on this incident, Narol Police Inspector (PI) R M Zala said, “The couple had been married for just four months and were living in a rented house in the Shahwadi locality in Narol.
Speaking further, Zala said, “Pradeep works at a company in Gandhinagar. They had been married for only a short time, and there was no record of any previous disputes or complaints from either side. However, a seemingly trivial argument over dinner pushed Pradeep to commit this horrific act.”
