The Gurugram police have arrested a man for stabbing his 30-year-old wife to death in the middle of a road in Sector 15 (Part 2) on Saturday morning. The man allegedly acted out on domestic discord. An FIR was registered at the Civil Lines police station.

According to the police, the accused has been identified as Karan Singh (37), a resident of Atrai village of Madhya Pradesh’s Panna district. He had been putting up in Delhi’s Pitampura area for some time while his wife and children were staying in a rented accommodation in Gurugram’s Patel Nagar.

According to the police, they got information today around 9.00am that near a T-junction in Sector 15 (Part 2), a man had stabbed a woman and fled while the victim lay injured. A police team reached the spot and rushed the victim to hospital where doctors declared her dead. The woman was identified as Dhanni aka Papita. She was raising her children while working as a domestic help.

According to the complaint filed by the brother of the deceased, Karan used to beat her every day. Karan was arrested within hours of the FIR being filed, a police spokesperson said.

“He lived with his wife and children in Patel Nagar, Gurugram, and worked as a sweeper with a salon. He moved to Pitampura after a domestic quarrel, a month back. Keeping the grudge of an old fight, he bought a knife for Rs 60 and murdered his wife by stabbing her four-five times,” the spokesperson added.
