Woman kills husband,stepson after man returns to first wife

The assault took place near the Akashbhumi Complex at Pandesara GIDC,when Rambabu was on his way to drop Krunal to the nearby tuition class on his motorcycle. His second wife Rekha alias Asha Tiwari (35) arrived in an autorickshaw along with her friends and assaulted the two with wooden sticks and baseball bats.

Passers-by rushed the two injured to the New Civil Hospital where Rambabu was declared brought dead and Krunal was kept under observation at the ICU as his condition was reported to be critical.

Rambabu’s first wife Sunita rushed to the hospital after learning about the incident and lodged a complaint against Rekha and five others. The police arrested Rekha,Dinesh Yadav,Vashisht Choudhary,Avinash Choudhary,Dinesh Paswan and Chandan Tiwari,all residents of Pandesara.

The police said Rambabu,a resident of Swaraj Society in Pandesara,belonged to Uttar Pradesh. He lived with his wife Sunita and their three children in Surat. He was doing different jobs. Nearly eight years ago,he developed relations with Rekha,who also lived in Pandesara.

They added that two years ago,after Rambabu learnt that Rekha’s husband Jagananth Tiwari,also a resident of Pandesara,had divorced her on suspicion,he went back to Sunita.

The police said Rekha was forcing Rambabu to break off his relations with Sunita and the children.

The couple regularly quarrelled over this issue. Finally Rekha hatched a plan to take revenge,and assaulted Rambabu and Krunal with the help of her friends.

Pandesara Inspector A T Chauhan said: “Rekha told us during interrogation that she had married Rambabu in a court in Uttar Pradesh. We have arrested all the accused involved in the double murder case.”
