In Keesaragutta, which is in the outskirts of Hyderabad, a woman had killed her husband. Unable to take the harassment that comes from her drunkard and abusive husband, the woman allegedly killed him. This incident took place in Bapuji Nagar, Keesaragutta.

The couple are from Warangal and identified as Shyam, a watchman, and Saroja. They have a three-year-old daughter and they were staying in a temporary shed installed at an open plot at Nagaram main road for the last three years.

According to the owner of the plot, Saroja informed the him that Shyam has been coming home drunk and is beating her regularly and this led to back to back fights in between the couple.

“Saroja grabbed a pestle from the cooking area in the house and hit on Shyam’s head,” said J Narender Goud, Inspector Keesara police.

Shyam fell on the ground and Saroja thought he was unconscious. Next day morning when she tried to wake him up, she realised that he was dead.

Based on a complaint from the plot owner on Sunday afternoon, the police booked a case of murder and taken up investigation. No arrest has been made yet. The body was shifted to the Gandhi Hospital morgue for autopsy.
