A 25-year-old woman has been arrested for allegedly strangling her husband to death in north-east Delhi’s Seelampur on Tuesday.
The accused told the police that she killed her husband, Salim, as he used to torture her.
“She claims he used to beat her up regularly and had an illicit relationship,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police (North-East) Ajit Kumar Singla.
‘Food spiked’
Late on Monday night, she allegedly spiked Salim’s food with an intoxicating substance and strangled him to death with a dupatta after he fell unconscious. She then approached the police saying her husband had been murdered by two of his associates.
