A 23-year-old man, Pradeep Agariya, has been arrested for the brutal murder of his pregnant wife, Heerabai, in Surguja district, Chhattisgarh. The incident occurred on May 14, 2023, when Agariya, allegedly under the influence of alcohol, attacked Heerabai, who was three months pregnant, inserting a hacksaw blade into her body. After the assault, he transported her to Ambikapur Medical College Hospital, falsely claiming she had been injured in a motorcycle accident. Unfortunately, she was declared dead upon arrival. Agariya fled the hospital, leaving her body unclaimed in the mortuary overnight due to the absence of relatives. The truth was uncovered the following day when Heerabai's family arrived, prompting a post-mortem that revealed multiple injuries, including a nearly 10-inch-long iron rod found in her body. The police noted that this was not an isolated incident, as Agariya had a history of domestic violence against Heerabai, with their four-year-old daughter present during the attack. He was apprehended shortly after fleeing, and a case has been registered against him.
