Shocking Domestic Violence Case in Munger: Husband Kills Wife and Surrenders

Munger, November 12 (Daily Kiran) : A tragic incident of domestic violence has emerged from Munger, Bihar, where a husband allegedly killed his wife during a dispute. The shocking event took place in the Jamalpur police station area, where the accused used a sharp weapon in the attack.

Following the incident, the husband surrendered to the police. The victim’s family is in deep mourning, as the couple leaves behind two daughters. According to police reports, the crime occurred near the Sadar market area.

The victim has been identified as Pooja Kumari. She married Dashrath Mandal, a resident of the Dharhara police station area, in 2015. Dashrath, who previously worked as a locomotive pilot for the railways, had taken voluntary retirement. Reports indicate that tensions in their marriage began a few years after the wedding.

Frequent disputes were reported between the couple. Family members attempted to mediate several times, but the conflicts continued. The situation escalated to the point where it was brought to the police’s attention. Pooja’s relatives claim she had been subjected to both physical and mental abuse for an extended period. Approximately a year ago, an incident of violence led to a police complaint, but a settlement was reached afterward.

On Wednesday night, around 12:30 AM, Jamalpur police informed Pooja’s brother about her murder. When family members arrived at the scene, they found Pooja deceased, with her throat slit by a sharp weapon. After the incident, the husband turned himself in to the authorities.

Upon receiving the report, police and forensic teams arrived at the location to conduct an investigation. They recovered the weapon believed to be used in the murder. The body has been sent to Sadar Hospital for an autopsy. Jamalpur police station chief Pankaj Kumar Paswan confirmed on Thursday that the husband had surrendered and that investigations into the motives behind the murder are ongoing.
