Bengaluru, Aug 8: A husband brought his wife to Bengaluru from Mangaluru and killed her during her sleep as he was unable to tolerate people calling her a thief. There were allegations of theft against his wife while they were in Mangaluru.

The deceased was identified as Sarita (35). Her husband Tharanath is accused of murdering her. This incident came to light at Whitefield police station limits in Bengaluru. The couple had migrated to Bengaluru from Mangaluru for work. They were selling Panipuri for a living. Both of them were partaking in their daily work. Therefore, they were good to each other in the beginning. However, Tharanath decided to end his life along with the family as allegations of theft did not leave his wife.

Tharanath killed his wife by tightening a noose around her neck while she was asleep. Though he had initially decided to end his life, he could not gather enough courage but instead went to the police station and surrendered himself to the police while confessing to them that he had indeed murdered his wife.

Police who took him into custody escorted him to the spot and conducted an inquest. As the act of murder was established during initial investigations, the police arrested Tharanath.

Whitefield station police are interrogating the accused.
