Man dies by suicide after killing wife
Last month, a domestic dispute linked to an alleged extramarital relationship ended in tragedy in Madhya Pradesh's Indore district, where three people lost their lives within a span of hours, police said. According to officials, a 34-year-old man allegedly killed his wife at their residence in the Hira Nagar area of Indore on Sunday before taking his own life by consuming poison. The couple’s deaths were later followed by the suicide of the woman’s alleged lover in neighbouring Khandwa district.
During the investigation, police recovered a suicide note from the house. In the note, the husband accused a man from Pithampur of having a relationship with his wife. He alleged that the man had influenced her, developed physical relations with her and threatened to upload her private photographs on social media.
The note also claimed that the husband had repeatedly requested the man to end contact with his wife, but the alleged relationship continued despite his objections. The situation escalated further when news of the couple's deaths reached the alleged lover on Sunday. Distressed by the developments, the man fled to his ancestral village located in the Khandwa district.
