Man kills wife as her family refuse Rs1.5 lakh, tried to portray the killing as suicide

A
28-year-old man from Badlapur was arrested late on Tuesday night for allegedly
strangling his 24-year-old wife with a nylon rope and trying to pass it off as
suicide.

According to
Badlapur police, the accused, Tushar Sambre, allegedly killed his wife,
Kanchan, after her parents refused to give him Rs 1.50 lakh to start a
business.

Kanchan’s
father, Kashinath Nirgude, 48, told the police that Sambre had visited their
house with her and their daughter on Tuesday night.

 Sambre, who had left his job a year ago and
then worked as a driver, demanded Rs 1.50 lakh from Nirgude to start his own
business, said the police.

Assistant
police inspector, H Gavit, said the accused called them on December 3, stating
his wife had committed suicide by hanging herself owing to some family
problems.

He said that
her wife was disturbed. After we sent the body for post-mortem, it was found that
the strangulation marks on the body were different from those made if a person
hangs themselves, said Gavit

Gavit added
saying, “Meanwhile, the victim’s parents also informed us about Sambre’s fight
with them on Tuesday,” he also said that they immediately arrested him. “During
interrogation, he confessed that he wanted to teach a lesson to Kanchan’s
family for not helping him start his business.”
