Abraham Slays Pregnant Wife in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, Then Voluntarily Turns Himself In to the Police
In the peaceful town of Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, a shocking incident of violence has left the community in mourning. On the morning of August 2, a woman named Sapna Shankar (22) was brutally stabbed to death in Amheda village, which falls under the Ganganagar Police Station area.
Sapna was married to Ravi Shankar in January this year. However, the couple faced marital issues soon after their wedding, leading Sapna to stay at her elder sister's house for the past five months due to the ongoing dispute. Tragically, it was her husband who was identified as the perpetrator of the crime.
The police arrested Ravi Shankar from the crime scene, where the area was soaked in blood. Sapna's body was taken into custody, and the police immediately initiated an investigation. A case has been registered under charges of murder.
Ravi Shankar called the police and informed them about the murder. The police are currently interrogating him to gather more details about the incident. Further legal action will be taken after the investigation.
While specific data on marital dispute-related domestic violence types and outcomes in Meerut are not readily available, it is clear that such incidents are not uncommon in Uttar Pradesh. Cases of severe abuse, including cruelty by husbands and sexual violence, have been reported in nearby districts. The state government and police have taken aggressive measures to address crime, including in the Meerut zone, but detailed marital dispute statistics and outcomes remain undocumented in these results.
Sapna was seven-month pregnant at the time of her murder, adding a layer of tragedy to this heartbreaking story. Our thoughts are with her family and friends during this difficult time.
The police have sent Sapna's body for post-mortem, and we will update this report as more information becomes available. This incident serves as a grim reminder of the need for continued efforts to combat domestic violence and protect women's rights in India.

[4] Upcoming measures to combat domestic violence in Uttar Pradesh
- Tragic stories, such as the death of Sapna Shankar in Meerut, highlight the need for ongoing efforts to combat domestic violence in India, particularly in the face of growing reports of severe abuse and sexual violence against women in Uttar Pradesh.
- Amidst the ongoing measures to address general news and crime, including organized crime, in Meerut, it is essential to focus on addressing domestic violence, as demonstrated by recent incidents like the murder of Sapna Shankar, who was seven-month pregnant at the time of her death.
- Despite aggressive efforts to reduce crime in Uttar Pradesh, as seen in Meerut where the police have been cracking down on gangsters, domestic violence remains a concerning issue for law enforcement. As seen with the arrest of Ravi Shankar for the murder of Sapna Shankar, continuing to gather and publicize information about marital dispute-related domestic violence will be critical in preventing similar tragedies from occurring.
