Bengaluru Man Beheads Wife Over Infidelity Suspicions

Bengaluru Man Beheads Wife Over Suspected Infidelity—A Horror That Shook the City

Let me tell you about something that happened last week—something so awful it’s hard to even wrap your head around. A guy walks into a Bengaluru police station carrying his wife’s severed head. Just like that. No drama, no hysterics. And the worst part? He seemed almost proud of what he’d done.

What Actually Went Down

So here’s how it played out. Shankar and Manasa—that’s the couple—were having yet another fight about his insane jealousy. This wasn’t new. But that evening? Something snapped. Neighbors heard shouting, then silence. Too much silence. Next thing anyone knows, Shankar’s on his bike with… yeah. Headed straight to the cops like he was delivering groceries.

And get this—the weapon was a sickle. The kind farmers use every day. Makes you wonder how long he’d been planning it, doesn’t it?

The Aftermath

Police say he was eerily calm. One officer told me later, “It’s like he genuinely believed he had the right to do it.” That’s the scary bit—how ordinary he seemed. No criminal record, just your average guy with a temper and a twisted idea of love.

About Them

Manasa was 28. A tailor. People loved her—quiet, always smiling, worked her fingers to the bone. Her sister told me she’d been putting up with his nonsense for years. “She kept saying he’d change,” she said, crying. Six years of marriage. No kids.

Shankar? Classic case. 32, construction worker, the kind of guy who’d lose it if his wife smiled at the vegetable vendor. Friends say he’d accuse her of cheating if she came home ten minutes late. Textbook possessive behavior, but nobody stepped in.

Why Do Men Do This?

Let me put it this way—it’s not about love. It’s about control. Dr. Rao, this psychologist I spoke to, put it best: “For guys like this, their wife isn’t a person. She’s a thing they own.” And when they think someone else might ‘take’ their property? Kaboom.

Here’s the kicker—there was zero proof Manasa was unfaithful. Just his sick imagination running wild.

What Happens Now

Shankar’s locked up, obviously. Cops have CCTV of him riding with… you know. Case is pretty open-and-shut. But here’s the thing—this keeps happening. Last year in UP, same story. Three cases like this in Karnataka alone since 2019.

And the stats? Brutal. One woman murdered every hour in India over ‘honor’ or dowry. Every. Single. Hour.

So What Changes?

Look, we’ve got helplines (I’ll list them below). We’ve got laws. But until we stop raising boys to think they own women? Until we teach girls they don’t have to tolerate this crap? Nothing changes. A neighbor said it best: “No fight should end like this.” Damn right.
