Woman Kills Husband in Drunken Quarrel

“Veerangana, 35, was allegedly found cleaning bloodstains from the floor when her in-laws reached the house. Her husband, Pappu Savita, 45, was still alive at the time and was taken to the hospital by relatives.”

“She claimed her husband often brought liquor home and encouraged her to drink, leading to regular fights. On the night of the incident, both were allegedly drunk when the argument escalated into violence.”

“The woman is alleged to have first hit her husband with a grinding stone and a dough roller in their house in Tikra village in Kanpur Nagar district on Wednesday night before delivering multiple blows to his head with an axe.”

“Severely injured Pappu was rushed to a private hospital and later referred to Lala Lajpat Rai (LLR) Hospital, where he died during treatment in the early hours of Thursday.”

“Her daughter-in-law was addicted to alcohol even before marriage and frequently returned drunk after visiting her sisters. Persistent quarrels, she said, had forced the elderly parents and their younger sons to move out of the house four years ago and live in a hut about a kilometre away.”
