Navi Mumbai: 45-Year-Old Man Arrested For Attacking Wife With Sickle Over Infidelity Suspicions In Turbhe | Representational Image
Indore (Madhya Pradesh): In a chilling incident in Indore, a man allegedly murdered his 36-year-old wife and injured his teenage stepdaughter before surrendering at the Lasudia police station on Saturday morning.
The accused, Sanjay Kanchan, reportedly confessed to police, saying, “I have murdered my wife.” The deceased was identified as Suman Kanchan, a resident of a slum near Scheme No. 78.
Police confirmed that the attack stemmed from long-standing suspicions and disputes regarding Suman’s character. During a heated argument, Sanjay reportedly took out a knife and attacked his wife. When his 14-year-old stepdaughter, Tani Kanchan, tried to intervene, he turned the knife on her, causing serious injuries.
Police teams rushed to the scene and found Suman’s body. The injured stepdaughter was admitted to Bombay Hospital and is reportedly in stable condition.
Both Sanjay and Suman were previously married; this was their second marriage. Lasudia police station in-charge Taresh Kumar Soni said the couple had a history of frequent disputes and mistrust. Sanjay had earlier been arrested under Section 151 following domestic complaints and had spent time in jail, but violence resumed after his release.
Sanjay, a labourer by profession, is currently in police custody. A case has been registered against him under Sections 103(1) and 109(1) of BNS, and the knife used in the crime has been seized. Police are investigating the incident further
