After killing his wife, the man also died by suicide by hanging himself from a ceiling fan at his house.

The deceased have been identified as Sachin (30) and his wife Bharti (25) of Veena Nagar, Yamunanagar.

Ajay Kumar, SHO, Gandhi Nagar police station, told mediapersons that after a postmortem examination, bodies were handed over to their kin.

He said on the statement of Sonu of Badhi Majra Colony of Yamuanagar, who is a relative of the couple, the proceedings were conducted under the Section 174 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC).

Sonu told the police that the couple had been married about three years ago.

“When I went to their house at 9 pm last night, Bharti’s body was lying on their bed in a pool of blood. However, Sachin’s body was found hanging from a ceiling fan of their house,” Sonu informed the police.

According to information provided to the police, Bharti was stabbed to death by Sachin. The husband later died by suicide at his house in Yamunanagar.
