CCTV dealer’s death: Wife, lover held

NEW DELHI: Three days after a CCTV dealer was found dead in west Delhi's Uttam Nagar, his wife and her lover have been arrested. Police said Jyoti (28) had killed her husband Vinod with the help of Ajit and then tried to pass off as death from tuberculosis. The couple's five-year-old son was sleeping beside Vinod when the incident occurred.


"The wife and her lover Ajit (31) hail from Jharkhand. Ajit used to work for Vinod and was recently sacked after Vinod found certain malpractices and also suspected his wife of having an illicit affair. Ajit, however, returned a few days later and asked for forgiveness and Vinod hired him back. On Saturday after Vinod was asleep, Jyoti tightly held on to his legs as Ajit throttled him to death at the couple's residence in Om Vihar, Uttam Nagar," additional commissioner of police (west) V Renganathan said.

Jyoti told police the couple had an argument after which Vinod had retired to bed. "She said her husband was not keeping well and was suffering from tuberculosis. However, when we enquired, we found that Ajit was present at Jyoti's residence that night. We also found they first took Vinod to a private hospital at Tilak Nagar but backed off realizing the doctors might call the cops. Finally they took him to DDU Hospital from where we received the call," said an investigating officer.

The neighbours told police they suspected foul play. Police detained Ajit, who confessed to the crime later.  http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/CCTV-dealers-death-Wife-lover-held/articleshow/20321268.cms
