Goyal said the electric cutter with which Dinesh slit Geeta’s throat was found there too. The neighbours rushed to their house on hearing the children cry for help. Some of them called 108 ambulance. The medical staff declared Geeta dead.

Dinesh was brought to Civil hospital where he underwent surgery and was admitted to the ICU ward in critical condition.

During primary inquiry, it was found that Dinesh would frequently fight with Geeta. “He suspected she was having an affair with some man. Dinesh would also often fight with his neighbours and family members. This was because he suffered from a mental illness for which he did not take regular treatment. He kept well while undergoing treatment. But when he stopped taking the medications, his mental condition would deteriorate,” said a police officer. The Dehgam police have registered a case of murder against Dinesh.
