Lucknow: A cleric lost his life in the Muzaffarnagar district of Uttar Pradesh for wanting to perform his third nikah. When Nikah insisted, the first wife attacked the maulvi's private part with a wheel, killing the maulvi. Police have arrested the maulvi's wife on charges of murder. The incident took place in Shikarpur village under the Bhorakala police station area of Muzaffarnagar.
