Delhi's Sajid kills wife in front of daughters over suspicion of cheating

A 36-year-old man allegedly killed his wife with a knife inside their Delhi house over suspicions of her being unfaithful in marriage, cops reported Tuesday.

The terrible incident occurred in front of their two daughters in Maujpur area, and one of them suffered an injury while trying to protect her mother, an official reported.

The individual responsible for this act has been identified as Sajid. The police were alerted to the incident at around 1am on Monday through a PCR call reporting a stabbing incident in Vijay Mohalla. Joy Tirkey, the deputy commissioner of police (Northeast), stated, “In response, a team was dispatched to the scene where they discovered Nisha, the victim, with multiple stab wounds inflicted by Sajid at their residence.”

A crowd gathered near the scene upon hearing the woman’s cries, but by that time, the perpetrator had fled. The woman had stab wounds on her neck, chest, and left hand. Despite being rushed to a hospital, she succumbed to her injuries, as per the police.

In the midst of the altercation, the couple’s 11-year-old elder daughter attempted to intervene but was wounded on her hand by her father. The police commented, “The couple has two daughters, aged 11 and seven, who were both present at home during the incident. A case has been registered under sections 302 (murder) and 307 (attempted murder) of the Indian Penal Code, and Sajid has been apprehended.”

During the investigation, it was revealed that Sajid used to operate a mobile repair shop in the past but had been unemployed recently. The initial inquiry indicated that Sajid harbored suspicions of his wife’s infidelity and believed she was having an affair. An argument arose between them over financial troubles, and as the dispute escalated, his suspicions led to a deadly confrontation. The weapon used in the crime has been confiscated, and all other aspects of the case are under investigation, stated the DCP.
