The man alleged that his wife was after his job and wanted to kill him over it. He said in his complaint to the police that they have also assaulted him. The complainant was referring to a case in Meerut earlier in March, in which a woman and her lover killed her husband, dismembered his body and kept it inside a drum before sealing it with cement.
