Days after the Raja Raghuvanshi honeymoon murder case, another chilling incident has come to light from Maharashtra, where a woman killed her husband with an axe while he was sleeping – just three weeks after they got married. The incident took place on the night of June 10 shortly after the newlywed couple fought, officials said on Thursday.
According to the police, the couple got married on May 23 in Maharashtra’s Sangli district.
On Tuesday night, the two fought aggressively, following which the victim, Anil Lokhande, went to sleep around midnight.

Raja and Sonam got married on May 11. They left for their honeymoon in Meghalaya on May 20, before going “missing” three days later. When their family members could not reach them, they reached out to the police. What initially started as a probe to find the couple, turned into a murder investigation when Raja’s body was found in a gorge on June 2, ten days after the brutal crime. His preliminary autopsy report revealed that he was attacked twice – once each on the back and front of his head. On the night of June 7, the ‘missing’ wife was found in an unconscious state at a ‘dhaba’ in Ghazipur. She was taken to the Ghazipur Medical College for treatment, where she surrendered before the police, and was subsequently taken into custody.
Sonam, 24, and her lover, Raj, were arrested on Monday along with their three aides, Akash Rajput, Anand Kurmi, and Vishal Singh Chauhan. They have been sent to eight days police custody.
