Police in the Indian state of Bihar has arrested a man who staged a drama of his own death after being disturbed by his wife's violence and abuse.
According to Indian media, 37-year-old Pradeep Kumar went missing on New Year's Eve with bloodstains on his bed and floor of his room, on which his wife Kumari Pratibha, 33, had lodged a missing person's report with the police.
During the investigation, police found an empty bottle with bloodstains half a kilometer away from the house, which looked like blood stains on Pardib's bed. With the help of this bottle, police recovered Pardib from the neighboring Ghazipur district.
Pradeep Kumar told the police that the whole drama was staged to get rid of his wife because she not only beat me but also abused me and said bad things.
Police told the media that Pardeb Kumar was charged with a fake death plan but after the consent, he was allowed to go home with a warning while his wife was also advised to avoid the assault.
