Around 3 pm, Ankita called her father to say she and her husband had been attacked by masked men. “She told her father that she and Suraj had been assaulted by three persons who suddenly appeared on the farm. She said she was roughed up but Suraj was severely attacked with koytas. She asked them to rush to the farm,”
Ankita Bodake (24) told police that Rajendra Kalbhor had harassed her a lot and that he doubted her character.
The Pimpri-Chinchwad police have arrested a 24-year-old woman for allegedly hacking her husband to death after taking him to her family’s farm. She is also alleged to have tried to mislead police by saying that he was killed by unidentified masked robbers.
She carried a knife when the couple left for Shirgaon in the morning. She strategically took him to the farm as she was aware that there would be no one there. Once there, she excused herself on the pretext of going to urinate. When Suraj was busy browsing his phone, she returned and assaulted him with the knife. Later, she used a pickaxe and stones that were lying there to finish him off. She then called up her father,” said Mane.
Inspector Satyavan Mane said the needle of suspicion slowly started to turn towards Ankita because of her evasive and contradictory statements, demeanour and response to the whole episode.
