In a tragic incident in Kahardih village, Jamui district, Bihar, Gagan Manjhi (the accused) allegedly killed his wife, Ugni Devi, aged 45, by slitting her throat with a sickle during an argument on Wednesday morning. The couple, married for about 25 years and childless, had a history of disputes, primarily stemming from Gagan's suspicions regarding Ugni's fidelity. Following the murder, Gagan did not attempt to escape but remained beside her body until the police arrived. Authorities took him into custody, and the body was sent for a postmortem examination. Khaira police station's officer, Mintu Kumar Singh, along with a forensic team, is investigating the case, which includes gathering evidence and interviewing neighbors to establish the full context of the incident. Sadar Sub-Divisional Police Officer Satish Suman indicated that a chargesheet will be prepared soon, and strict legal actions will follow against Gagan for this heinous crime.
