The incident had come to light when the GMSH-16 reported to the police that a woman, identified as 25-year-old Pinky Devi, was brought dead to the hospital.

The victim’s children, aged 10 and 7, and her father-in-law revealed that she had been stabbed in the stomach by her husband Ramesh following a domestic dispute.

Ramesh, who had fled after the assault, was nabbed on Thursday and produced in court, which remanded him in judicial custody.
