In Indore, a woman named Suraj Bai was detained by police following the death of her husband, Santosh Dawar, during a domestic dispute in the Gandhi Nagar area. 

Reports indicate the victim, an aircraft fueling worker, was an alcoholic who frequently engaged in physical altercations with his wife and four daughters. Following an argument in which the victim allegedly threatened to kill his family, the wife reportedly attacked him with a heavy object, identified as a grinding stone, and strangled him while he was sleeping.
