Mumbai, August 21: A session court in Mumbai recently sentenced a man to life for allegedly killing his wife with a grinding stone in Mulund. The alleged incident took place in Mulund back in 2016. The accused, a 47-year-old Mulund resident, was reportedly awarded imprisonment for life for murdering his wife.

While announcing the sentence, the judge said the accused even suspected his wife's character. According to a report in the Times of India, the judge also said that it was proved that the accused identified as Rajesh Dandavat, often fought with his wife, drank and did not work. Mumbai Shocker: Girl Brutally Assaulted by Boyfriend for Resisting Rape Attempt, Accused Nabbed From Gujarat.

The judge also stated that the accused even wrote three letters establishing that he suspected his wife was in a relationship with another man. "When deceased refused to reside with him, he, under the fear of losing her and under the fear that she might go with another person, committed her murder," judge Madhuri M Deshpande said.

Speaking further, the judge also stated that public prosecutor Meera Choudhari-Bhosale answered all questions convincingly in her argument to the court's satisfaction.
