Thane, Oct 9 (PTI) Police have launched a search for a 32-year-old man from Ambernath in Thane district who is on the run after allegedly killing his wife by slitting her throat during an argument over domestic issues, an official said on Wednesday.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (Ambernath) Suresh Warade said an FIR under section 103 (murder) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) has been since registered at the Shivaji Nagar police station against the accused, Vicky Londe.
Londe, who got married three years ago, was staying with his wife and one-year-old daughter in a housing complex in the Palegaon area of Ambernath town.
The couple often fought over domestic issues. During one such fight on Tuesday night, the accused, in a fit of rage, slit the throat of his wife (28) with a sharp object, killing her on the spot, and fled, said Warade.
On being alerted by neighbours, police rushed to the spot and sent the body for post-mortem to a government hospital, he said.
