A 29-year-old man and his live-in partner have been arrested for allegedly killing his wife and dumping her body after stuffing it in a plastic bag in east Delhi's Laxmi Nagar area, police said today.
Feroz Khan and his partner Suman were arrested yesterday in connection with the murder of Khan's wife Haleema, whose body was found from Gali number 5 of J&K Block of Laxmi Nagar on July 27, DCP (East) Rishi Pal said.
The duo had allegedly killed Haleema in a fit of rage after she had a fight with them, and kept the body in a bedbox for two days, before disposing it, police said.
Feroz was married to the deceased for 10-12 years, but was allegedly in relationship with Suman for past 10 months. He was living with her in a rented house in Laxmi Nagar.
Haleema objected to her husband's relationship and visited his rented accommodation where she had a fight with Suman during which she was allegedly killed by the duo, said the officer.
