Palghar, Nov 7 (PTI) A man allegedly murdered his wife over suspicion about her character in Nalasopara in Palghar district on Saturday and then ended his life by jumping in front of a train in south Mumbai, a police official said.

The Nalasopara police station official identified the deceased as Takipada residents Majid Khan (50) and his wife Tabassum Khan (41).

"Tabassum conducted tuition classes at home. Majid grew suspicious of her character because the fathers of several of her students frequently visited their house, which routinely triggered arguments between the couple," he said.

Early this morning, Khan strangled Tabassum and then fled the house, the official added.

"He then travelled to Grant Road railway station in south Mumbai and ended his life by jumping in front of a moving train. A case of murder has been registered against Khan. Further probe into the murder and suicide is underway," the official said.
