PUNE: The Wanowrie police on Friday arrested a 45-year-old mandap decorator on the charge of attempting to murder his wife over a domestic dispute at their residence in Sayyednagar on the evening of July 1.
The Pune cantonment court on Saturday sent suspect Azmuddin Pathan in magisterial custody remand for 14 days. He was later sent to the temporary jail at Yerawada.
Sub-inspector Bolenath Ahiwale said, “Pathan instructed his 35-year-old wife Asma to leave his residence following a dispute between them. After his wife refused to leave, Pathan, in a fit of anger, attempted to kill her by throttling her neck, but she survived.”
Ahiwale said,“Asma had filed a complaint against her husband with the Wanowrie police in 2007 for subjecting her to ill-treatment. She had also filed a petition in 2017 claiming maintenance from her husband. The couple later settled their dispute and started living together since 2018.”
“The relations between the couple turned sour after Pathan started harassing his wife over trivial reasons,” he added.
An FIR has been registered under section 307 (attempt to commit murder) of the Indian Penal Code.
