Police said Saravana arrived at 9:45 pm on Monday night after a meeting with his friends to plan a holiday trip to Sangama. He picked up a quarrel with his wife for not cooking dinner. The quarrel ensued after Sudha, who had been unwell questioned her husband on his late arrival and criticised him for his holiday plans.

Police said Sudha refused to cook dinner, infuriating her husband who had come home with vegetables.

Saravana then went and locked himself into a room leaving Sudha and their daughter to sleep in the living room. The police said Sudha did not suspect anything initially as her husband was in the habit of shutting himself in the room after quarrels.
