Even as ripples caused by the murder of Indore businessman Raja Raghuvanshi are yet to subside, a case has surfaced in Maharashtra`s Sangli where a 27-year-old woman allegedly hacked her husband to death just a fortnight after their wedding, reported news agency PTI.

The couple resided in Kupwad tehsil of Sangli district, a police official said.

The woman was later arrested and booked under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, he said, adding further probe was on into the case.
