Pune: Husband Found Dead by Suicide, Wife Discovered Deceased in Pimpri-Chinchwad: Police Probe Murder-Suicide Angle
Sangvi, 24th July 2025: A man was found dead by suicide and his wife was discovered deceased in a shocking incident that came to light around 9:30 am today in Sangvi, Pimpri-Chinchwad. Police are actively investigating whether this is a case of murder-suicide, as suspicions arise over whether the husband killed his wife before ending his own life.
The deceased have been identified as Sham Waghela, aged 50, and his wife Rajashri Sham Waghela, aged 45, a school teacher in Pimpri. According to police sources, there were visible signs of bleeding from the wife’s mouth. Reports indicate ongoing marital discord, with Sham Waghela frequently suspecting his wife’s character, leading to a heated argument the night before the incident.
The couple’s daughter was informed of the marital dispute by her mother over the phone last night, with the daughter promising to visit the following morning. Upon arriving at the Sangvi residence and receiving no response at the door, the daughter, along with others, eventually broke in, only to find her father dead by hanging and her mother unresponsive.
Senior Police Inspector Jitendra Koli confirmed that authorities are investigating whether the wife’s death was a homicide committed by her husband, followed by his suicide, or if there is another explanation. The case remains under active police examination.
