When he refused to get off his phone, there was an argument, which escalated. She reportedly slammed his head into the bed’s headboard before strangling him to death.

After the incident was reported by Singh’s nephew Raviranjan Kumar and the suspect was taken into custody.

After committing the murder, Devi reportedly tried to make it look like her husband died of unknown causes. She pretended to cry while calling Singh’s nephew, saying that something has happened.

Kumar and other family members arrived at the house, however, he became suspicious when he noticed small cuts around the victim’s throat as if fingernails had caused the injuries, Gulf News reported.
