Police in India have arrested 60-year-old Ashok Kumar who fatally shot his wife, Rupesh Singh for serving his dinner late.
A senior police officer in Ghaziabad city near the capital Delhi, told the BBC that Kumar came home drunk on Saturday night and got into an argument with his wife Rupesh before fatally shooting her.
Rupesh, 55, was taken to hospital with a gunshot wound to her head, but by then she had died, reports said. Mr Kumar has confessed to his crime and now regrets his actions, Mr Singh said. “The man [Mr Kumar] used to drink every day.
On Saturday, he came home drunk and started having an argument with his wife. She was upset with his drinking habit and wanted to talk about it, but he wanted dinner immediately,” Mr Singh said. “He got frustrated with the delay and shot her,” he added.
Domestic violence has been the most reported violent crime against women in the country every year for more than a decade now. In 2015, an incident of domestic violence was reported every four minutes under the legal definition of dowry deaths, harassment over dowry related crimes, cruelty by husband or his relatives and domestic violence.

the power of alcohol…. People should abstain from drinking too much because it can lead to many thing.

I think we should start shooting men too when they are not able to cater for the family or beating them up, this is murder not domestic violence! May her soul rest in peace.

I mean you’re really brutal… But I kinda agree with you though… All these violent men will have to learn their lesson the hard way
I agree with you @Obidigbo Ifeoma this is no longer domestic violence the man deserve to be punished
The man should be duly punished… may her soul rest in peace
It’s murder committed when he wasn’t with his correct senses, Because he was intoxicated by drink. So they police should consider these when punishing him. Though what he did wasn’t right.
