Man held for killing wife by pushing her off second floor

He was arrested on Thursday from Karkardooma Court where he had gone to look for a lawyer, the officer said.

Dilip was a drunkard and was living separately from his wife, Lalita, who was staying with her daughter, Puja, and son-in-law.

On August 21, the accused reached the house and sought to take rest there for half-an-hour to which she objected. They started fighting in presence of their grandchildren. The argument took a violent turn as Dilip pushed his wife off the second floor of the building. She died in a hospital later.
