A 48-year-old palm reader was arrested here in Maharashtra on Monday for allegedly advising a family to get rid of their daughter-in-law claiming she was a "bad omen" for her husband who wants to become an MLA or minister, police said.

The accused Raghunath Yemul had told the man that his dream will never come true until he divorces his wife, a Chatushringi police station officer said quoting the FIR.
