SENSATION prevailed in Wadi area after a middle-aged man brutally killed his wife with a sharp-edged knife following a tiff with her, allegedly over some domestic issues. The incident took place in the wee hours of Friday.
The accused Manoj Sarode (50) fled the spot after killing his wife identified as Madhuri (40) in her Navneet Nagar residence at Plot No 32, Adivasi Gruha Nirman Society.
Their 18-year-old daughter aspiring to join the Maharashtra Police force had gone to participate in a recruitment drive for the post of constables. The murder came to light when the couple’s 12-year-old son, who had gone to his relative’s house on Thursday for an overnight stay, returned home and found his mother lying in a pool of blood. The boy shouted for help. Neighbours rushed to the Sarode’s house and saw Madhuri dead. Soon after receiving information about the murder, staff from Wadi Police Station, including Senior PI Pradeep Rayannavar, API Ajay Kapoor, PSI Vijendra Nachan and PSI Ganesh Munde visited the spot. ACP Praveen Tijade also arrived to supervise the probe. After conducting the inquest ‘panchnama,’ cops sent the body to Mayo Hospital for autopsy.
Preliminary investigations revealed that Madhuri and Manoj Sarode were the natives of Kupgaon, taluka Arvi, district Wardha. Manoj had availed a loan from a finance company and purchased three lorries to start his own transport business. As he did noy pay the equated installments, the finance company had seized the vehicles. Manoj, who was presently working as a driver at a private company, was demanding money from Madhuri’s parents to get the vehicles released. As he was torturing Madhuri, she shifted to Nagpur and was staying with her children at Navneet Nagar on Amravati Road. Fed-up of constant harassment by her husband, she lodged a complaint against him at the family court. She then joined a private firm. The couple often used to quarrel over domestic issues. In a fit of rage, Manoj killed his wife and escaped. Using the mobile tracking system and on the basis of the inputs received from their informers, police laid a trap at Arvi and took Manoj into custody. Wadi Police arrested Manoj on charges under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code. Further investigations are underway.
