Wife kills husband pouring boiling oil

A man succumbed to his injuries after his wife allegedly poured boiling oil on him in Belbuni village under Raneshwar Police Station of Dumka district, police said today.
Accused Rubi Tudu (30) was arrested yesterday and sent to jail today, Officer-in-charge of Raneshwar Police Station Yadu Sau said.
The incident happened on last Friday night when accused Rubi poured boiling oil on her sleeping husband Robet Murmu (38), Sau said.
A severely-injured Robet ran out of his house and took a plunge in a nearby pond and then after a brief relief went to a neighbour's place and narrated the incident to seek his help for medical treatment, the OC said.

The neighbour then took him to the village chief, who directed Robet's father-in-law to take care of his medical treatment, he said.
Robet, who was under a quack's treatment, succumbed to his injuries in the wee hours on Monday, Sau said.
Rubi told police that Robet was staying at his in-laws' place and was not working and that led to frequent fights between them. And on Friday night the couple, who had three daughters, had a brawl over the issue, which forced Rubi to commit the crime.
