A 35-year-old woman was allegedly hacked to death by her husband while she was asleep in Karnataka's Belagavi district, as he suspected she was having an affair with another man.

According to police, the accused, Pargunda Sarawad, allegedly attacked his wife with a sharp weapon while she was asleep, killing her on the spot.
