A married woman was found stabbed at her rented accommodation in outer North Delhi's Bhalswa Dairy area, with the police suspecting involvement of her husband in the crime, a senior official said.
The deceased has been identified as Shazia Khatun, a resident of Shradhanand Colony in Bhalswa Dairy, they said.
According to a senior police officer, the incident was reported by the house owner Wednesday morning.
During investigation, it was revealed that Khatun and her husband Nizamuddin were from Sitapur in Uttar Pradesh and got married in October 2018.
Their neighbours said the couple used to fight often.
