Maharashtra man arrested for wife’s murder

The Indian Opinion

The police have named domestic suspicion and alcohol as triggers, but such explanations often let society off the hook. A daily wager with a four-year-old son does not automatically become a killer because he drinks or fights. The real test will come when forensic evidence and witness accounts are tested in court. Did the couple’s families’ opposition play any role in the violence? That question demands an answer, not just a dose of moral panic.
