In a tragic culmination of years of alleged abuse, Santosh Dabar's wife Surajbai plunged a hammer into her husband's skull before strangling him with her saree, resulting in his death on Sunday night. According to prosecutors, Santosh, an alcoholic, regularly beat his wife and kept her and their four daughters isolated, preventing them from leaving the house or using mobile phones.
The assault began when Santosh, intoxicated, attacked Surajbai without cause; she responded by striking him with a heavy object. After a hospital visit by her nephew, Santosh resumed his attack, and Surajbai, overwhelmed, strangled him with her saree, causing his demise. Police, who have detained the 49-year-old suspect, say she confessed to the crime during questioning.
A murder case has been filed, and further investigation is ongoing based on forensic lab findings and an autopsy report. Police revealed that previously, Surajbai's granddaughter avoided the family home for two years and couldn't even stand to look at each other. The suspect's parents remained silent, with no communication between the grandfather and granddaughter.
Officials now urge families to take complaints of children seriously, suggesting professional counseling to address mental stress and prevent similar violent incidents.
