Angry Over Excess Salt In Khichdi, Man Strangles Wife To Death In Maharashtra
Mumbai: A 46-year-old man allegedly strangled his wife to death in a fit of rage after the khichdi made by her for breakfast had excess salt, police said on Saturday.
He told that the incident took place on Friday morning in Bhayandar East’s Phatak Road area, after which the police arrested the accused.
“The man, identified as 46-year-old Nilesh Ghagh, strangled his wife Nirmala to death at around 9.30 am after having breakfast. He was angry as the ‘khichadi’ (a food item made of rice and lentils) cooked by her and which she served to him in the breakfast contained too much salt,” an official of the Mira Bhayandar-Vasai Virar police commissioner said.
He said that he killed her using a long piece of cloth.
On receiving the information, the police reached the spot and sent the woman’s body to the local government hospital for post-mortem, the official said.
An offence under section 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) was registered against the man at Navghar police station in Bhayandar.
