India A man sends a bomb inside a gift to his ex's wedding and kills her new husband

The Indian authorities have reported this Wednesday the arrest of a man, allegedly involved in the death of two people, after an explosive device exploded that was inside the wedding gift that he sent to his ex-partner and that he left between the victims to the woman's husband.

The event took place last Monday in the Kabirdham district, in the state of Chhatisgarh, in central India, when the gift given to the couple, a home theater system, exploded when plugged into the electrical current, confirms to EFE is the local police officer Surendra Sahare.

The ex-boyfriend of the newlywed, who was arrested yesterday by the Indian authorities as the main defendant in this event, sent on the wedding day how he "gave the couple a home theater system that exploded," he said.

The strong explosion, which even brought down the walls of the room where the event took place, killed the husband and his brother, and injured four other people, including a minor, reported police sources quoted by the Indian channel NDTV.

After his arrest, the defendant admitted to police that he sent the couple an explosives-laden wedding gift because he was angry with his ex-girlfriend for marrying another man after insisting that she become his second wife.

Revenge and honor killings are common in India, among a deeply patriarchal society that perceives a woman's refusal of a man's romantic proposal as an offense.

Frequently crimes of harassment, threats, rape, acid attacks, or in the worst scenarios, death, occupy the headlines of the media related to reasons of honor.
