A man allegedly killed his 34-year-old wife with a sharp weapon at their home in Koparkhairane near Maharashtra's Thane district, before attempting to end his life on Wednesday, the police said, reported the PTI.

An official said that a police team reached the spot after neighbours of the couple alerted police.

"We spotted the body of woman with injury marks. Her husband tried to commit suicide. He was admitted to a hospital," the official said, adding that no arrest has been made so far, while a case has been registered under section 103 (Punishment for murder) under the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS).
