Police officers on night duty at Nagpada police station on Tuesday were in for a rude shock after a man barged in and declared, “I have killed my wife, arrest me.” After initial questioning, the intruder was identified as Kumaran Sobiya Konar (39), a Chennai-based bank employee.

He has been charged with the murder of his wife, a commercial sex worker from Bangladesh, operating from Kamathipura. Police said that Konar had met the sex worker around three years back, and kept visiting Kamathipura after he fell in love with her.
