Sushama Hiraprasad (30), may have got away with killing Hiraprasad Shivprasad if it had not been for her daughter spilling the beans while being questioned at Warje-Malwadi police station.

The police said the couple were living in a shanty in Gosavi Vasti in Karve Nagar along with their two daughters, and used to quarrel frequently as Hiraprasad used to return home drunk almost every night.
