he Delhi Police has arrested a Delhi University Assistant Professor and his nephew for criminal conspiracy in connection with his wife's murder at their West Sant Nagar residence in Delhi's Burari area.
The accused has been identified as Virender Kumar, who is an ad-hoc assistant professor while his nephew has been identified as Govinda. Kumar and victim Pinky (32) got married in February.
According to a senior police official, on Monday evening, the police arrested Kumar's tenant and worker Rakesh, who confessed to strangling Pinky to death and then electrocuting her at the behest of her husband.
“Kumar told the police that he was miffed with his wife as they used to regularly fight over trivial issues. He then hatched a plan to eliminate her, and roped in Rakesh and Govinda for the same,” said the senior police official.
