Arguments happen between married couples. But in the case of one SWAT commando from Delhi Police, an argument with her husband was fatal. The 24-year-old, who was married to a clerk in the Ministry of Defence, reportedly had a heated discussion with her spouse over financial matters on Jan 22.

After their argument, as she reportedly spoke to her brother, the raging husband snuck up on her with a bumbbell and hit her over the head with it, reported Times of India.

Because of her severe injuries, she was admitted to a hospital on Tuesday, where she passed away during treatment.

Her brother was quoted by as saying, the assault happened while he was on the phone with his sister.

A murder case has been registered against the husband who remains in police custody.

The couple had been married since 2023 and have a one-and-a-half-year-old son.
