"However, during post mortem, the doctors noticed strangulation marks on the neck and alerted police that it was a case of murder. On sustained questioning, Rani confessed she had smashed his head against a sewing machine and then strangled him with a dupatta (scarf) as the deceased used to assault her routinely under the influence of liquor," he said. She has been charged with murder and will be produced in court, the Kalamna police station official added.
