According to the FIR, the couple had marital issues. “At around 6.30 am, when Shalini went near the pipeline behind the kitchen to take a bath, the accused attacked her with a knife, inflicting deep injuries on her neck, chest, and back,” the FIR said.
Police said Shalini’s husband, Isaac, attacked her with a knife, fatally injuring her neck, chest and back.
Moments after the crime, Isaac went live on Facebook, where he admitted to the killing and made personal allegations against his wife, including claims of mistrust and misuse of jewellery.
The video, since removed from the social media platform, reportedly circulated briefly and sparked shock and concern among viewers.
Isaac later reached the police station and informed the cops about killing his wife.
The police team soon reached the house and found Shalini dead. A police official said that Shalini’s body was later shifted to the hospital for a post-mortem.
Meanwhile, police have booked Isaac under Section 103(1) (murder) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita following a complaint by the couple’s 19-year-old son. Investigators said a forensic team is examining the crime scene, and the mobile phones of both the victim and the accused have been seized.
