Over two months after he allegedly killed his wife in front of his three little children, a 27-year-old man was arrested from South Delhi on Tuesday.
Police claimed that Aashish Kumar has confessed to his crime. “He suspected his wife of indulging in an illicit relationship with his paying- guest tenant,” said Vijay Singh, DCP (North-West), on the reason behind the murder. Aashish and Jyoti had married against their respective families’ wishes around seven years ago.
Since then, Aashish had been absconding. Police said their probe revealed Aashish to be shifting locations in West Bengal, Jharkhand, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.
He was finally nabbed from Jaitpur Extension in South Delhi on Tuesday based on a tip-off that he had returned to the city.
