New Delhi, June 08: A 30-year-old woman was arrested here for allegedly murdering her “alcoholic and abusive” husband after her father reported the matter to police, investigators said today.
Neha alias Sunita was arrested yesterday from her Rohini residence by police after her father reported the murder of his son-in-law Naveen (32) on Friday night, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Outer) Atul Katiyar said.
The accused first hit Naveen with a wooden piece and when he became unconscious, she stabbed him in the throat with a kitchen knife, he said and added that as it got twisted and then took another knife to stab him.
“She changed her clothes and washed her hands and went to her parental house. She made plans the whole night to cook up a story but could not gather courage. Finally in the morning, she narrated the incident to her father Chandoo Lal who reported the matter to the police,” Katiyar said.
The provocation was that Naveen forced her to drink alcohol and then beat her up, the police official said.
The woman, a graduate, was working in a beauty parlour at Pitampura when she met Naveen, also working there. Her family’s financial condition was not good and she could not get a suitable match for herself.
She became friendly with Naveen, hailing from Haryana’s Panipat, and after some time the families got them married, Katiyar said.
