Retired army officer missing after allegedly killing wife
Mumbai: In a shocking incident in surburban Mumbai, a retired army officer, Mahipal Singh, killed his wife at their residence in Kalina Military Camp.

The incident happened on March 13, after which he told the cops that his wife had hanged herself from the ceiling

The body was sent for post mortem which refuted the claims made by the officer. As per the post mortem reports, prima facie it's not a case of suicide. The body bore strangulation marks and police suspect Singh staged the murder to be depicted as suicide

35-year-old Singh retired as a clerk and served the army for 15 years. The motive behind the murder is still not ascertained.

 The army officer is now absconding and the police are on a look out for him.
