An Assam police constable was arrested on Monday for allegedly killing his four-month pregnant wife at his official quarter near Sadar Police station in Dibrugarh district.

Police said the accused constable, identified as Biki Chetia, used his service revolver to shoot his wife.

The couple got married four years ago and it appears there was some domestic dispute between them, officials said, adding that the accused was probably under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incident.

"He has confessed to his crime. Chetia killed his wife due to a family dispute," a senior police official said.
