Man Used To Beat Woman's Kids
Deputy commissioner of police (outer) Nidhin Valsan said the man allegedly used to beat the woman's children. "We have been told that the deceased would hit the children of the woman which enraged her. On Monday afternoon, Tawarak returned to the house after drinking and again fought with the woman. This time, the woman allegedly picked up a grinding stone and hit him in the head," Hindustan Times quoted the DCP as saying.
A police team that rushed to their house found the man lying on the floor in a pool of blood. All five children were in the house at the time of the incident.
