Lucknow, December 22: A woman from Agra is in jail for killing her husband with an electric shock on Saturday night. She was arrested on Monday after the police found the body of the 38-year-old man in their house and filed a murder case against her. The woman’s father-in-law lodged a complaint against her under Section 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code. She was produced in court on Tuesday and remanded to 14 days of judicial custody, said Sadar police station in-charge Pradeep Kumar.

As per the report published by the Times of India, police said the woman confessed to electrocuting her husband, who was a vendor, after tying him up in their house.

She did not inform the police about the incident for two days and only did so on Monday. The police then reached their house in Mustaffa quarters and took the body for postmortem. “There were no injury marks on the body,” said deputy commissioner of police (City) Agra, Suraj Rai.
