A domestic dispute ended in tragedy in the Jogi Nawada neighborhood under the Baradari police station jurisdiction in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, where a 35-year-old married woman lost her life. The victim, identified as Saroj, died on the spot after her husband, Satish, allegedly subjected her to a violent assault using a brick and a stone pestle. Following the fatal attack, the accused fled the premises accompanied by his two minor sons, prompting local authorities to launch an investigation and send the remains for post-mortem examination.
Return from Maternal Home Followed by Fresh Conflict
According to available details, Saroj, originally a resident of Musajhag in Badaun, was married to Satish of Jogi Nawada back in 2004. Over the years, the couple frequently experienced domestic discord. Satish reportedly harbored suspicions regarding his wife and imposed restrictions on her movements outside their residence. Weary of continuous domestic disputes, Saroj had moved to her maternal home some time ago. Satish had brought her back to their marital home just around two days prior to the incident. However, the brief reunion failed to resolve their underlying grievances, leading to another confrontation on October 8.
Lethal Assault with a Brick and Stone Grinder
The argument escalated sharply on October 8, spiraling into physical violence. Satish, who worked at a local sweet shop, reportedly grabbed a brick and struck Saroj repeatedly. The assault intensified as he allegedly picked up a heavy grinding stone and delivered multiple blows to her head. Sustaining extensive trauma, Saroj collapsed into a pool of blood and succumbed to her injuries before any medical help could arrive. The couple has three children together, comprising two boys aged 12 and 13, and an approximately two-and-a-half-year-old daughter. Immediately after the fatal incident, the accused left the house taking both teenage sons with him.
Police Register Criminal Case and Launch Probe
Upon receiving notification regarding the killing, personnel from the Baradari police station along with the specialized field unit rushed to inspect the crime scene. Forensic and investigative teams gathered crucial clues before completing the inquest formalities, after which the victim's body was transferred to the district hospital for a detailed autopsy. The Circle Officer stated that the police received information on October 8 regarding Satish fatally crushing his wife Saroj's head with a brick in Jogi Nawada. Following a formal complaint, case crime number 1264/26 was registered under relevant legal sections, and law enforcement authorities are continuing further legal proceedings.
