PATNA: Police have arrested a 30-year-old man on charges of killing his elder brother’s newlywed second wife as he was angry with his family members for not letting him marry and instead solemnising the second marriage of his elder brother.
The incident occurred at Sabnahipatti village under Siripur police outpost in Gopalganj district in the wee hours of Saturday when the woman, Meena Devi (34), wife of Ganesh Pandit (45), was fast asleep.

Incharge of Siripur police outpost Sanjeet Kumar said the accused was identified as Manoj Pandit. “He had fled the village after committing the crime. However, the police succeeded in arresting him after several raids,” Kumar said.
He added, “Ganesh’s first wife had died several years back. He has two married daughters and a minor son from his first wife. He married Meena hardy three months back. This irked Manoj as he is still unmarried.”
Kumar said Manoj often used to quarrel with his elder brother, mother and sister-in-law over the issue. “He hit the forehead of Meena with a sharp-edged object around 3am on Saturday. She died on the spot,” Kumar said.
“An FIR has been registered against Manoj on the basis of his elder brother’s complaint. Meena’s body was handed over to the family after postmortem,” he added.
