A 42 year-old labourer was arrested by officials from the Khar police station for clobbering his wife to death and grievously injuring his neighbour using a paver block after he caught them in a compromising position.

The incident occurred after Ravi Gowda saw Chandu lying with his wife Shantibai around 3 am yesterday. Following the crime, Ravi stood at the spot, waiting to surrender before the police. The husband-wife duo lived on a footpath at Khar 1st road and worked as labourers. They have three children.
