Newly recruited Patna woman constable Shobha Kumari was brutally murdered by her husband, Gajendra Yadav, for not “sparing time” for the family after getting the job, police has said. Police found Shobha’s body in a hotel room in Patna on Friday with no clothes and vermillion scattered all over the place, leaving behind signs of struggle. She was shot in the head at a close range.
According to a TOI report, 23-year-old Shobha’s husband, a resident of the Kako police station area near Jehanabad, was perturbed over her not sparing time for the family because of her job. The couple had a love marriage. They had met in coaching classes run by the accused in Jehanabad. They have a daughter together.
Shobha’s body was found in a hotel in Patna two days ago. As per reports, the husband had booked the room and the Shobha had come to visit him. The husband is said to have made three calls after the murder before switching off his phone. The accused is still on the run.
“On getting the information, we reached the hotel and found the woman lying in a pool of blood. Prima facie it seemed the woman was shot in her head at a close range We also found struggle marks on the spot,” DSP Krishna Murari Prasad was quoted by TOI as saying.
In a similar incident, a 52-year-old Delhi man killed his wife after a fight over her going out to work in south Delhi’s Ambedkar Nagar area on October 17, police said.
The couple’s son, Aakash told police that his parents had a fight on Tuesday night. After receiving a call from his father, he came down from his first-floor room to find his father Ved Prakash dragging his mother, Sushila’s body from the bathroom.
On being questioned by Akash, the accused confessed that he had strangled Sushila to death with a dupatta, police said.
