Ghaziabad, December 20: A horrifying incident unfolded in the village of Bhojpur in Ghaziabad when a 52-year-old man allegedly used a sword to behead his wife after argument over not serving his morning tea on time.

The accused, Dharamveer, had reportedly been growing increasingly impatient as his wife, Sundari, informed him that the tea would take some time, reported NDTV. What began as a seemingly innocuous argument escalated into a fatal quarrel.
