Man on the Run Arrested in Chennai After Killing Wife Over Gambling Dispute

The accused, who had been on the run for several days, was eventually apprehended by the Trombay Police in Mumbai after a nationwide manhunt. The man reportedly killed his wife after a heated argument about his request for money to fund his gambling habit. The dispute reportedly escalated when the woman refused to give him any money, leading to the fatal incident.

According to police officials, the man tried to avoid capture by traveling to different states in India, including making efforts to stay off the radar by not using his phone. Authorities say his attempts to evade capture were thwarted after a thorough investigation and tracking of his movements across various regions.

The murder took place in Chennai, where the man and his wife had been living. After the incident, he fled the scene, believing he could escape law enforcement. However, detectives were able to trace his steps through a series of clues and intelligence gathering, which led to his final arrest in Mumbai.

Police officials confirmed that the accused was using different means of transportation to stay undetected, but after days of investigation, he was arrested in Trombay, Mumbai. During questioning, he reportedly confessed to the crime, admitting that the argument over money for gambling had led to the tragic act.

The victim's family and neighbors were shocked by the brutal act, and the case has drawn widespread attention to the growing concerns about domestic violence linked to gambling addictions. The accused is now in police custody, and authorities are continuing their investigation to determine whether there were any other factors that contributed to the crime. The case will proceed to court once the investigation is complete.
