NEW DELHI, May 29: The husband of a woman, who was murdered in GK II, committed suicide after his own nephew was arrested for her murder. Ravinder Jha, husband of Neeru Channan consumed pesticide on May 19.

Police believe that Ravinder Jha went into a state of depression after he heard that his nephew, Ajay Pathak, had been arrested for his wife8217;s murder. Subsequently, he went to his room and consumed pesticide.

Neeru8217;s body 8212; with multiple wounds on her stomach and neck 8212; was found on May 7 by her husband after he returned home from a visit to the market. Investigations later revealed that the nephew, Ajay Pathak, 19, and and an accomplice Vijay Kumar were involved in the incident. Although Vijay was accompanying Ravinder when he had gone to the market, Ajay was in the house when the incident is believed to have occurred.

The police have arrested Ajay from his hideout from his native village last week. After his arrest, Ajay reportedly told the police that he used to be beaten up and insulted by Ravinder when he was staying with the Jhas.

He then hatched a plan with Vijay and decided to take revenge by killing Neeru. The police initially believed that a property dispute was the motive behind the murder. Neru had inherited the GK-II house after the parents died last year.

She married Ravinder sometime later, but the couple soon had to contend with several threats from local real estate dealers.
