MP’s Wife Fatally Injured by Husband with Pestle During Karwa Chauth Fast

The incident occurred as the woman observed Karwa Chauth, a Hindu festival in which married women fast for the long life of their husbands. While she was fasting, her husband allegedly used a kitchen pestle to strike her head, causing fatal injuries. The death was reported to local authorities, who have begun an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the assault. The case has drawn immediate attention due to the involvement of a parliamentarian's family and the cultural context of the festival. Officials have not released further details pending the outcome of the inquiry.
