The Delhi Police has arrested a 31-year-old woman for allegedly killing her husband as she suspected him of having illicit relationships with other women in outer Delhi’s Nihal Vihar area. The woman, identified as Bhuvneshwari Devi alias Pinky, also alleged that her 35-year-old husband Anil Sahu, who ran a placement agency, often used to beat her.
In order to get rid of him, she along with one Raj, with whom she was also having an affair, hatched a conspiracy to kill him and later tried to mislead investigators by narrating a fake story, police said. The accused, Raj, has been absconding and raids are being conducted to nab him.
“Sahu’s body with multiple injuries on his face, head and neck was found at his home on June 3 and during enquiry, his wife told police that he was killed by two unknown people who had come to meet him. However, no information or clue was found to identity them,” said Parvinder Singh, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Outer district.
“Later, it was found that five people, including the deceased’s wife, his two minor children and two maids, were present at home at the time of the incident but none of them could disclose anything related to the incident, which was suspicious,” said the DCP.
“During inspection, police team found some injuries on the body and the hands of his wife. Some faint stain marks were also spotted on the clothes worn by her but she was not ready to disclose anything about the incident and frequently kept changing her statements,” said the DCP.
“However, after sustained interrogation, she told police that a long-standing dispute was going on between them due to which, she had also lodged a case against Sahu last year at Dhanwar police station in Jharkhand. But after arriving at a compromise, they had started living together,” the DCP said.
