The Ahmedabad firefighting team that had been dispatched to put out a fire discovered a woman dead in a pool of blood inside the home, while her husband was discovered lying on the floor suffering from stab wounds on Friday morning.
Anita Baghel and her husband Anil Baghel allegedly got into an argument, and two knives were found in the couple’s apartment, according to the police. When the husband arrived home from dropping off his two children at school at around 10 am in Godrej Garden City’s Eden V Block near the SG Highway in Ahmedabad, the incident occurred.
The neighbours called the fire department when they noticed smoke billowing out of the apartment. V S Vanzara, police inspector, at Chandkheda police station said, “When the fire fighting team reached the location, they found the body of Anita Baghel with blood around it. There were cut marks on her body including her neck. The couple had got into fight over a household matter. Both the husband and the wife were stabbed with a sharp object. The wife could have died due to suffocation.”
To determine the precise cause of her death, the police are awaiting the post-mortem results. Additionally, a team from the forensic science laboratory is looking into the situation. The husband has been questioned by the police.
“The husband has claimed that his wife attacked him with a knife and he also used a knife for self-defence. He has alleged in his statement that using the knife his wife cut off the gas pipeline connection in the kitchen which led to the fire. He has also alleged that his wife slit her own throat after attacking him,” the official added.
