Kanpur Husband Allegedly Bludgeons Wife to Death Over Meal Dispute
In a shocking incident of domestic violence, a 60-year-old woman was allegedly murdered by her husband in Kanpur on Monday morning. The brutal crime occurred in Karrahi village, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Barra police station area.
Details of the Fatal Attack
According to police reports, the accused, identified as 65-year-old Sahab Rajput, carried out the attack by striking his wife, Lalti, on the head with a brick. The assault proved fatal, resulting in her immediate death at the scene.
The motive behind this horrific act appears to stem from a domestic dispute over meals. Preliminary investigations by the police revealed that Sahab killed Lalti because she had not served him dinner the previous night and failed to prepare morning tea on Monday.

While the official complaint had not been formally received at the time of reporting, police authorities stated that all necessary legal procedures would be completed once the complaint is filed.
Disturbing History of Violence
This is not the first time Sahab Rajput has faced serious criminal charges. Police records indicate that he was previously charged with murder against his wife back in 1985. Following that earlier incident, he was sent to jail, highlighting a long-standing pattern of domestic violence within this household.
The couple had six children together, including four daughters. This tragic event has left the family devastated and has raised serious concerns about domestic safety and intervention in recurring violent situations.
