A 52-year-old man in a remote village of Faljiagadh, Indian State of Uttar Pradesh, identified as Dharaveer, has killed his wife over delay in serving him with a cup of coffee.
Dharamveer, it was gathered, unleashed mayhem on his wife, Sundari for untimely delivery of his morning cup of tea at the early hours of December 19, 2023.
The suspected murderer rose from the bed a few minutes after his 50-year-old wife, who was almost ready to serve her furious husband with his request.
According to the police, the woman had pleaded with Dharaveer for a few minutes to round off with the preparation of the tea. Unfortunately, her husband went mad at her in the kitchen.
Police Superintendent Vivek Yadav disclosed that Sundari was awake as early as 6 a.m. to prepare the tea as she daily did.
“The couple’s four children were still asleep when the tragic incident happened a few minutes Dharamveer woke up after his wife and demanded a cup of tea which was not ready at that time of asking.

“After around five minutes, Dharamveer asked for tea again and rushed to the makeshift kitchen on the terrace. He got angry when his wife told him it would take another 10 minutes for the tea to get ready and kicked the utensils away. He then went to get the sword before returning and using it to kill his wife,” the officer said.
When their son, named Soldier, heard the woman’s screams, he reportedly rushed to the scene, where he met his mother in her pool of blood.
The report further disclosed that Dharamveer allegedly attacked the children as they tried to help her, and they fled to their room.
“I and my two sisters tried to save our mother, but my father threatened to kill us. That is why we left the place. My father Dharamvir while fleeing towards the sugarcane crop fields was brandishing the sword so that nobody could catch hold of him,” Soldier recounted.
Alerted by the cries of the poor children, villagers also rushed over to their home and found Sundari lying lifeless in a pool of blood.
They called the police and Sundari’s body was taken away for autopsy and Dharamveer was arrested afterwards. The police had also begun an investigation into the matter.
Soldier told Indian media that his father had become angry over tea before and often shouted at his mother, but had never hit her.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Gyan Prakash Rai said, “Dharamveer and Sundari had a fight over making tea. He then took out a sharp weapon and attacked her on the neck from behind, which led to her immediate death.”
