Thane: A 56-year-old man allegedly shot dead his wife, but soon afterwards collapsed and died, apparently due to a heart attack, at their residence in Thane city of Maharashtra, police said on Saturday.
The incident occurred around 10.15 pm on Friday in Yashwant Nivas building located in Kumbhar Ali of Kalwa, they said. The victims were identified as Dileep Salvi and his 51-year-old wife Pramila, the police said.
A police official said, ”Soon after Salvi returned home on Friday night, an altercation broke out between him and his wife. In a fit of rage, he took out his revolver and fired two rounds at his wife, who died on the spot.”
Soon afterwards, Salvi collapsed on the ground and died after apparently suffering a heart attack, he said.
