Man stabs wife to death over ‘infidelity’

“Kumar’s sister-in-law Pooja made a call to the Police Control Room around 1.30 am. We reached the spot and rushed the profusely bleeding victim to a nearby hospital where she was declared dead on arrival,” a senior police officer said. “Later,Pooja said in her statement that the couple fought often because Kumar suspected Usha of having an extra marital affair.”

During the melee,their 12-year-old daughter tried to stop Kumar from stabbing Usha,but he pushed her away. “The accused is absconding. A police team has been formed to nab him and he will be arrested soon,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (New Delhi) Shanker Dass said.
