Powai police station witnessed dramatic scenes on Sunday, after the wife of a policeman walked in and said she had killed her husband. Parvati Taksalkar (40) reached the police station around 4 pm and calmly told the officer on duty, “Mi majhya navryacha khoon kela aahe (I have killed my husband)”.
She was detained for questioning and later arrested. Parvati told police she was married to assistant police inspector Nandkishore Taksalkar (43), posted with Local Arms 4 division and was staying with him in Marol Police Lines. A police team was immediately sent to the address, where they found Taksalkar lying in the bedroom with his head crushed. He was taken to Holy Spirit Hospital where he was declared dead before admission.
“Parvati has said she bashed Nandkishore’s head with a stone tile and then with a hammer when he was asleep. She has alleged he was an alcoholic, which led to frequent quarrels between them,” said senior inspector Bajirao Bhosale.
Another officer added the couple had frequent arguments for several months and that they had also reached Powai police station on Saturday night after a fight. Police will re-investigate the cause of the fight.
Bhosale said the couple’s 15-year-old son Satish was present in the house at the time of the crime and added his statement was being recorded.
Nandkishore’s colleagues at Local Arms-4 said he had faced problems at work due to his alcoholism. Additional Commissioner of Police (Local Arms) Vijay Chavan said, “Nandkishore would report to work as far as I know. I will have to check the finer details of his service record before commenting on it.”
