Police have arrested a 38-year-old man for allegedly stabbing a 23-year-old man to death as he suspected the victim of having an affair with his wife in northeast Delhi's Bhajanpura.
A juvenile has also been apprehended in connection with the case, police said.
The accused, Vinod Kumar, called Shanu whom he suspected of having an affair with his wife, to sort out issues and stabbed him with a butcher's knife 20-25 times, police said.
Vinod was assisted by a juvenile in killing Shanu.
The incident came to fore last night. Around 10.15 PM yesterday, police were informed about screams coming out of a locked house. After the lock was broken, bloodstains were found on the walls of the house.
A room was found locked in the house and after the lock was broken, Shanu was found lying on the floor with his body covered in a quilt, they added. He had already died by the time police reached there.
On the basis of a tip-off, a police team was sent to Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh to nab the suspects - Kumar and a juvenile. Kumar was arrested from there and the juvenile was also apprehended.
Kumar told police that he was having suspicion about an affair between his wife and Shanu for the last 20-25 days.
When he saw Shanu near his house yesterday, he called him inside and while the juvenile held Shanu, Kumar repeatedly stabbed him.
He wanted to dispose off Shanu's body but since neighbours had got suspicious, he left the body at his house after wrapping it in a quilt.
Police have recovered the bloodstained clothes of the accused and the knife used to kill Shanu. It is suspected that Kumar's mother also helped him clean the house after the incident and she is being questioned.
