As the altercation intensified, Laxmi allegedly picked up a sickle kept in the house and struck Shivaji on the neck. "He collapsed after the assault and sustained a head injury due to the fall. He died on the spot due to excessive bleeding," stated Kamareddy Inspector B Narahari. The couple, who had been married for six years and have two daughters, had moved into their current rented accommodation six months ago.
