In a dramatic courtroom exchange, 60-year-old chemistry professor Mamta Pathak, accused of murdering her husband by electrocution, stunned the Madhya Pradesh High Court with a scientific rebuttal. When asked about post-mortem burn findings, she confidently explained the difficulty of visually distinguishing thermal and electric burns, citing chemical reactions, metal deposition, and the need for lab analysis. The alleged murder occurred in April 2021, when Mamta reportedly gave her husband, Dr. Neeraj Pathak, sleeping pills before electrocuting him. A voice note from the deceased and the driverтАЩs statement became crucial evidence. Their turbulent marriage and past abuse allegations further complicated the case. Previously sentenced to life by a sessions court, Mamta appealed and is currently out on bail. The division bench has reserved its verdict after the April 29 hearing. The courtroom moment has sparked widespread attention online.┬аHusband's Girlfriend Not 'Relative' for Wife to Allege Cruelty, Says Gujarat High Court While Quashing Section 498A IPC FIR Against Man's Paramour.
