Latur: In Maharashtra ’s Latur district, a murder convict out on parole allegedly shot his wife dead at Udgir. A senior police official on Wednesday confirmed the incident saying that a manhunt has been launched to nab the accused.

The police stated that accused Amit Natkare alias Sonu was on the run while the incident caused an uproar in the area.

Natkare was accused in two murder cases earlier and sentenced to life imprisonment in one of them, said a police official.

Out on parole, he was harassing his wife Bhagyashree, demanding she bring money from her parents so that he could file an appeal against his conviction, the official said.

The couple had a quarrel on the issue late Tuesday night and Natkare allegedly shot his wife twice, he said.

Police have launched a manhunt for the accused.
