The incident came to light when Heena returned back from her parental house on Saturday and found him dead.
She stated, that last night her husband was alone with two of her children, while she went to her parent’s home with her 6 years old daughter.

Eventually, she broke into the place with help of some neighbours and found that her husband was lying dead on the bed, while her two small kids (aged 2 and 3 years) were sleeping alongside.
