Kalavati Devi (45) attacked her husband Harish Chandra Singh Gariya (55) with a large stone after a minor tiff between them yesterday, they said.

Two labourers killed

Srinagar: Two labourers, including a Nepalese, were killed in an explosion in Leh town of Jammu and Kashmir on Monday, a police spokesman said. The labourers -- Ghulam Mohammed Malik of Chuchkut and Brij Sunwar of Nepal -- were fiddling with scrap at a workshop when the explosion occurred, he said adding the cause of the blast is yet to be ascertained.

Jewellery looted

Kanpur: In a daring robbery gold ornaments worth Rs 27 lakhs were looted in the busy Birhana Road area here on Monday, police said. Manoj Soni, owner of Rajasthan Jewellers, had sent his servant Sanjay Gupta with the ornaments weighing nearly three kilogrammes to one M. K. Jakhodia, a bullion agent. While going to Jakhodia's second-storeyed office, two miscreants threw chilly powder on Sanjay's eyes and ran away with the bag containing the jewellery. Sanjay was admitted to a hospital.

S. Baghel said.
