“Neighbours told us the couple had been fighting a lot in the past few days. We suspect that the wife might have been having an affair and the husband, who is absconding, wants to kill her boyfriend,” said the officer.

PSI Dinesh Patil of Central police station told mid-day, “We are investigating all possible angles in the case. The accused was in debt and we also suspect the wife was having an affair.”
