Bengaluru: A 31-year-old beautician was strangled to death allegedly by her husband at Annasandrapalya late Friday evening. The incident occurred following an argument between the couple, who were married for eight months, over their desire to have a child. Police identified the victim as N Girija and accused as Naveen Kumar, 35. The house owner alerted cops after he heard commotion and saw Naveen fleeing.

Naveen, who was traced to his friend’s house, said Girija had undergone an abortion two months ago and wanted to conceive again. “We fought over that and in a fit of rage, I strangled her,” he told police. tnn

This tragic incident sheds light on the issue of domestic violence and the fatal consequences resulting from unresolved conflicts in relationships. Domestic violence, especially against women, remains a grave problem in society. The incident serves as a reminder of the urgent need to address issues related to domestic violence and provide support to victims.

In recent times, cases of strangulation leading to death have been reported in different parts of India. In Uttarakhand, two men were arrested for strangling a man to death over a gambling dispute. The victim was strangled following a confrontation over winnings. In another incident in Koh-e-Fiza, a nurse was strangled by her friend in his flat, leading to her death. Investigations revealed that the accused’s wife, parents, and his medical background played a role in the crime. Additionally, a kidnapped Pune student was found murdered in Ahmednagar. The student, allegedly kidnapped by three individuals, including a college friend, was strangled to death.

These incidents highlight the prevalence of violence and the need for strong measures to prevent such tragic outcomes. Society must work collectively to create awareness, educate people about healthy relationships, and provide support to those affected by domestic and other forms of violence.
