Karnataka Cop Felt Wife, Who Just Gave Birth, Was Cheating, So He Killed Her

Pratiba, 23, who had a degree in Computer Science, and 32-year-old Kishore, who is from Veerapura in Kolar district, were wed in November last year.

A 23-year-old Karnataka woman - who had given birth less than two weeks ago - was allegedly murdered by her husband, a policeman, who suspected she was in a relationship with another man.

Three others have also been arrested in connection with the woman's death.

Police have said the husband, D Kishore, first consumed a poisonous substance - in an apparent bid to die by suicide - before he strangled his wife, Pratibha S. According to media reports, Pratibha was living at her parents' home in Hoskote Taluk, and gave birth to her baby - a boy - on October 28.
