As the couple did not have a cordial relation, they filed a divorce petition in the court. Both of them were called to the court for a compromise, because Shivkumar assured that he would sink all the differences with his wife for the sake of two children. Nevertheless, the man accompanied his wife to the restroom of the court and slit her throat. He was also going to attack his baby but those present on the occasion intervened and saved the baby’s life. Chaitra died at the hospital.
