Santosh and Ashwita were married just 6 month’s ago, after a long love affair.

Heated argument followed between the couple, when Santosh returned home empty handed on Sunday. At last, as in a fit of rage, he tried to end the issue by stabbing her chest with a pair of scissors, used in rolling bidis.
