In a gruesome incident, a young housewife killed her husband and then buried his body in her bathroom in Ganganagar in Meerut district.

An unrepentant Varsha Patel, 28, told reporters on Wednesday after she was arrested that she had no regrets about killing her husband Rajendra Patel, 40.

“He would come home drunk and then would beat me up and the children. This continued for years and when I sought help from relatives, no one was ready to help us. Finally, I knocked him on the head while he was asleep and then kept hitting him on the head till he died. Since I could not carry his body outside, I dug a pit in the bathroom and buried him there,” she told reporters.

A neighbor, who suspected something was amiss in the household, informed the police who first interrogated Varsha, who soon confessed to the crime. The body was dug out and sent for post mortem.

Varsha was produced before a magistrate and sent to jail on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, police officials suspect that another person could also be involved in the murder.

“It is not possible that the wife could have dug up a tiled floor in the bathroom and buried her husband on her own. We are looking for another suspect in the case,” said a senior police official in Meerut.
