Woman’s lover hacks her husband 17 times with axe, injured in encounter
In a shocking crime of passion, a man named Talib was brutally attacked seventeen times with an axe by Aasim, the alleged lover of his wife. Following a tense shootout, police apprehended Aasim, who later confessed to the horrific act. Authorities have charged him and Talib's wife with murder and conspiracy, while the murder weapon has been secured as evidence.
In Muzaffarnagar's Budhana area, a tragic event unfolded on Saturday involving a 26-year-old man from Meerut named Talib. Talib was allegedly attacked 17 times with an axe by his wife's lover, Aasim, 25. Talib sustained deep cut wounds all over his body and succumbed to his injuries at the hospital. Aasim was apprehended following a brief encounter with the police on Sunday.
A neighborhood CCTV captured the horrifying scene, showing Aasim raining blows on Talib in broad daylight after an altercation. Talib, a welder from Gujarat, had traveled to his wife's parental home in Budhana on August 4 after her called him regarding an urgent matter. Meena, Talib's wife, made an FIR against Aasim and herself under sections 103 (murder) and 61-2 (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code.
According to Talib's brother, Aqil, Meena had conspired to kill her husband. Budhana's circle officer, Gajendra Pal Singh, mentioned that Aasim was on the run and was apprehended by the police after attempting to flee from Mandawada towards Luhasana village. During the police encounter, Aasim tried to hide in a cane field and opened fire at the officers, sustaining a bullet wound in his leg. In response, the police retaliated in self-defense.
Aasim confessed to his crime during questioning, and the police recovered the farm axe and a .315-bore country-made pistol.
