New York: A man who stabbed his wife to death and hung himself from a tree was “insanely jealous” of his wife’s fascination with Hrithik Roshan, media reports cited her friends as saying.
###
Dineshwar Budhidat, 33, flew “into fits of rage” before the tragedy on Friday over Donne Dojoy, 27, liking the actor, her friends told the New York Post.
###
“She told me when she was at home watching a movie or listening to a song (with Roshan in it), he would ask her to take it off because he would get so jealous,” the Post quoted her friend Mala Ramdhani, 52, a karaoke singer at a lounge where Dojoy was a bartender.
###
Her favourite movie was “Kaho Na Pyaar Hai”, Ramdhani told the Post.
###
Budhidat, who married her in July, had a history of violence against his wife and she had a court order protecting her from him after he had been arrested for slapping and strangling her, according to the New York Daily News.
###
However, she visited him in his flat on Friday, when the tragedy struck, according to the News.
###
“I guess she wanted to give him another chance,” Dojoy’s sister, Fannita Barakat, told the newspaper.
###
Media quoted police sources as saying that after stabbing Dojoy, Budhidat told a relative by phone about it and then went and hung himself from a tree in a nearby park.
###
Andel Rodney, a chef at the bar and a friend of Dojoy told the Post that Budhidat was jealous of her and “she talked about him abusing her, controlling her, beating her, scaring her, threatening to kill her.”
###
Her cousin Anthony Dojoy said: “It has to be jealousy, because there’s nothing else – she’s sincere, genuine, honest.”
