The horrific incident took place in Chitalwana in Jalore district of Rajasthan on Tuesday when the accused Deeparam Prajapat took both of his wives out with him in his car on the pretext of buying them jewellary. One of his three children was also with them.
The accused confessed before the police that he had married a second time because his first wife was not keeping well. However, the new wife was frequently quarrelling with the first one as well as with him, as reported by India Today.
Fed up he decided to bump off the second wife, disguising it as an accident. On Tuesday, when he was taking both his wives out in a car, the second wife began to fight again.

"I regret it now," he told media persons in police custody.
"But I tried to save my first wife. I also had waited endlessly for things to improve but could not help it in the end," he added.
