Malkajgiri (Telangana) [India], June 11 (ANI): The Malkajgiri Police have apprehended a man for allegedly shooting his wife dead following ongoing marital disputes, officials said on Thursday.
The deceased, identified as 35-year-old Dhamara Nisharani, was shot at around 04:30 hours on Wednesday at her residence in Maruthi Nagar. The accused, her husband Dhamara Arun Kumar (48), reportedly harboured suspicions about her fidelity and subjected her to both physical and mental harassment.
Investigations revealed that Arun Kumar was previously married to Nisharani’s elder sister before marrying her. Nisharani had on multiple occasions sought refuge at relatives’ homes in Narsapur, Medak District, due to repeated harassment.
