Pali/Rajasthan: In yet another distressing incident, a husband allegedly stabbed his wife in Rajasthan’s Pali district on Saturday and later surrendered before the police. The incident unfolded in the Bar village, where Kailash Sen allegedly stabbed his wife Krishna (45) in the kitchen of their home after an argument broke out between them over some monetary dispute, police said.

After committing the crime, Sen approached the Bar police station and surrendered. The police team then reached the crime spot and sent the body for post-mortem, they said. A case has been registered and Sen is being questioned, they added.

Crime in Rajasthan has been on the rise in the last few months. A similar incident occurred earlier where a man allegedly killed his 60-year-old father and buried the body in his house in Dungarpur district. The accused, Chunni Lal, had a heated argument with his father, Rajeng Baranda, on Wednesday during which he attacked him with a sharp weapon on his head.

Baranda died on the spot and Chunni Lal buried the body in the courtyard of his house, police said. The victim had four sons – Prakash, Dinesh, Pappu, and Chunni Lal. While Prakash and his mother lived in Ahmedabad, the other siblings resided in Balwara village in Dungarpur and Baranda lived with Chunni Lal in a separate house, police said.
