Morena, June 16: A tragic incident unfolded in Morena district, Madhya Pradesh, where a 35-year-old woman was allegedly murdered by her husband while she was on her way to file a complaint at the police station.
The victim has been identified as Nisha Jatav. On Monday evening, she was attacked with an iron rod near a field in the village of Sahariyan Ka Pura, located in the Dimni police station area.
Nisha sustained severe head injuries and died at the scene. The accused, her husband Dharmendra Jatav, fled after the incident and remains at large.
According to police reports, the fatal attack occurred following a domestic dispute between the couple on Tuesday. Around 2 PM, an argument over serving food escalated into violence.
