A shocking case of murder unfolded on Friday afternoon in the Paldi area of Ahmedabad, where a man stabbed his wife to death with a sharp weapon on a public road. The incident occurred near Mena Gurjari Society on P T Thakkar College Road around 3.30 pm.  

The victim, identified as 30-year-old Sonal Nayak, was brutally attacked by her husband, Arjun Nayak. Before the accused could flee the scene, locals intervened and handed him over to the police. Paldi police have registered a case and initiated an investigation.  

Family dispute leads to tragedy  

Initial police investigations suggest that the motive behind the murder was a family dispute. Sonal and Arjun had been married for 10 years and were parents to two children. However, their marital life was strained due to Arjun’s alleged alcohol addiction, which frequently led to arguments and fights.  

As a result of these conflicts, Sonal had been living separately from her husband. On the day of the incident, both families had gathered to mediate and resolve their differences. During the discussion, a heated argument broke out, and in a fit of rage, Arjun attacked Sonal with a knife, inflicting multiple fatal wounds.  

Quick police action  

Thanks to the swift action of bystanders, the accused was caught on the spot and handed over to the authorities. The Paldi police arrested Arjun Nayak and have begun further investigation into the case.
