Ranchi was stunned on Saturday when a husband gunned down his wife in their Mani Tola home under Dorunda police limits. Tannu, also known as Rani, succumbed to a gunshot wound to the head. Her husband, Saheb Ansari, is the main accused and has vanished, sparking a citywide search operation.
The midday tranquility shattered with the sound of gunfire echoing through the lanes. Neighbors, alerted by the blast, converged on the house only to witness Saheb escaping on foot. Rani’s lifeless body was discovered inside, blood staining the floor from her head injury.
Dorunda SHO Deepika Prasad led the initial response, calling in FSL experts to scour the site. A pistol recovered beside the victim is key evidence. Cops believe Saheb tried to pass off the murder as a mishap to evade scrutiny.
DSP Pramod Kumar Mishra of Hatia shared insights from early inquiries: Saheb’s illicit liaison with another woman had strained their marriage. Rani’s persistent objections boiled over into a violent clash, culminating in her death.
As night fell, police intensified efforts to track Saheb, conducting raids across Ranchi. The incident has ignited debates on marital discord and the easy access to firearms in domestic settings.
Forensic analysis and witness statements will shape the case ahead. Rani’s family demands swift justice, while the probe delves into Saheb’s background and potential accomplices. This heartbreaking episode serves as a grim reminder of hidden tensions behind closed doors.
