A heartbreaking tale of gender-driven fury has emerged from Bihar’s Jamui, where Irfan Ansari allegedly ended his wife Tarana Khatoon’s life with a sharp weapon, driven by an insatiable desire for a son. The 29-year-old mother of three girls surrendered himself to Nagar police, who took him into custody without delay.
Found drenched in blood in their Amarth village home on Sunday, Tarana’s death follows years of torment post her 2018 marriage. Each daughter’s birth only amplified the abuse from her husband and relatives, culminating in this violent end after her third child.
Locals whisper of incessant quarrels and a brutal assault just 10 days back. Tarana’s family has leveled charges against the household, leading to an FIR and intensified police probes. The scene is sealed for FSL examination, weapon confiscated, and postmortem pending.
As raids continue for other fugitives, this incident lays bare the toxic legacy of son fixation, demanding urgent interventions like education drives and legal safeguards to shield vulnerable women from deadly family pressures.
