Husband Slit wife’s throat as she got into auto in Mumbai- India
Man in Mumbai slits throat of 28-year-old wife as soon as she boarded the auto who then stabbed her to death on Monday night.
Police officer Vikram Deshmane, Goregaon police station, said, “The accused, Prasad Rawat (30), Geeta Dubey’s husband, was arrested by the Goregaon police. Prima facie, the motive for the murder seems to be marital dispute.”
Geeta was killed in Goregaon while she was on her way home in Malad. The police had scanned the CCTV footage and questioned her relatives.
But her husband Rawat had gone missing following the incident which took place at 9.15 pm at Tomato Lane near Goregaon station when Geeta had boarded an auto to reach her mother’s residence in Malad West. The killer first slit her throat and then stabbed her in the chest before fleeing.
The auto driver rushed Geeta to Siddharth Hospital in Goregaon West where she was declared dead due to heavy blood loss.
ACP, Goregaon Division Satish Shinde said, “Just as the deceased got into the rickshaw, the man stabbed her and fled.”
Geeta has two daughters aged one and three. Santosh Uphadhya, Geeta’s brother-in-law, said, “The two were living separately but Prasad used to visit Geeta who had been staying with her mother in Malad.”
