Kolkata: In yet another horrifying incident happened in Harinarayanpur, under the jurisdiction of the Joyanagar police station, where frequent altercation over her social media activity and the friends she had made online led to a man slitting his wife’s throat with a vegetable cutter in West Bengal on Friday, police said. The man fled after the murder and the couple’s minor son returned home to find his mother lying in a pool of blood.
38-year-old Parimal Baidya, the accused, reportedly slit his wife 32-year-old Aparna’s throat, suspecting her of having an extramarital affair. Parimal, who works as a mason, is currently evading authorities.
Upon raising an alarm by son, neighbors rushed to the scene and alerted the police. The son revealed his tumultuous past and told the authorities about the frequent disputes between his parents. He referred to the threats made by his father to his mother, highlighting the heated argument that took place the night before the tragic incident.

The police unveiled that due to never-ending conflicts, the woman had previously separated from her husband, seeking refuge at her parents’ place.
Police sources said the couple always indulge into verbal spat over Aparna’s social media activity and some friends she had made through social media platforms. “We suspect the husband killed her because she did not approve of her social media activity. Aparna was 32 years old,” said an official.
