Initially reluctant to file a complaint, Pravin Jagtap's family later registered a First Information Report under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita charges related to attempt to murder.
(Image generated using AI)A 38‑year‑old woman in Maharashtra’s Baramati has been arrested for allegedly attempting to kill her husband using poison and conceal his body in a homemade duct at her residence.
The accused, identified as Sharmila Pravin Jagtap, a resident of Indraprastha Society, was booked following a complaint lodged by her father‑in‑law, Prakash Jagtap, 71, at the Baramati police station on Wednesday.
Assistant Police Inspector Shashikant Ingawale, the investigating officer, said Sharmila’s husband Pravin, an engineer at a well-known company, was attacked on the intervening night of July 30 and August 1.
On Thursday, the police said Sharmila allegedly poisoned Pravin and assaulted him with a bat, leaving him unconscious.
