REASI, Apr 25: A young man was arrested for allegedly killing his 20-year-old wife who was found hanging inside a shed at village Mallikot in Chassana, April 14.
The accused husband, namely Mangal Singh, resident of Mallikot village, was arrested after the interim medical report of his wife Sita Devi revealed that her death was not a suicide but a murder.
Sita Devi was found hanging inside a goat shed at her house on April 14 and her in-laws tried to pass it as a case of suicide.

Thereafter, the inquest proceedings were converted into a murder case and further investigation was underway.
