A 30-year-old woman allegedly killed her former husband with a tawa, a griddle, after an argument when he visited her house in the Jankipuram area, police said on Friday.
Police said the incident occurred on Thursday after Soni, a resident of the Ashiyana locality, visited his ex-wife Tapasya Singh’s house in Kaushalya Garden, Jankipuram.
An argument broke out between the two over an issue, during which Singh allegedly struck Soni on the head with a tawa, causing serious injuries, police said.
