Man Slays Daughter‑in‑Law with Axe Over Black‑Magic Claim, Then Leaps into Well in Nagpur

Police officials in Nagpur reported that a man attacked his daughter‑in‑law with an axe inside the family residence, claiming she was involved in black‑magic rituals. The victim was found dead with multiple axe wounds, and the perpetrator was later discovered at a nearby well where he had jumped in an apparent attempt to evade arrest.
The investigation team said the suspect, identified as a middle‑aged male, told officers that he acted out of fear after learning about alleged occult practices in his household. He reportedly confessed to the killing before leaping into the well, prompting officers to retrieve him for questioning.
