Man kills wife for refusing money to buy liquor

RANCHI: A man killed his wife in a Jharkhand village after she refused to pay him money to buy liquor.

Police said Amrit, a resident of Sarisakundi village in Dhanbad, around 240 km from here, killed his wife on Tuesday.

Amrit, a father of six children, was the sole breadwinner of his family.

His income was not enough and the family was on the brink of a financial crisis.

On Tuesday night, Amrit came to his house in an inebriated state and demanded Rs.20 from his wife to buy liquor.

When she refused, Amrit picked up a bamboo stick and hit her on the head. She died on the spot.

Amrit was arrested after the villagers informed police.
