PUNE: A 32-year-old electrician walked into the Hadapsar police station on Saturday night and claimed that he had killed his wife by slitting her throat with a knife following a quarrel.
According to the police, Nitin Nikam, who stays and works with a private company in Bhosari, would suspect his wife — Anjali (22) — of infidelity. In the last couple of months, the couple would often argue over it. Frustrated with the frequent quarrels, Anjali had returned to her mother’s place in Gosavi Vasti in Hadapsar.
On Saturday afternoon, Nikam reached there and cornered his wife near her home. “The couple had a heated verbal exchange following which Nikam pulled out a knife and slit her throat,” inspector Balkrishna Kadam of the Hadapsar police said, citing a statement given by the suspect.
“Kadam added, “Nikam even contemplated committing suicide but his brother convinced him to surrender before the police.”
