A woman along with her paramour allegedly attempted to murder her husband by hanging him at Jewar, police said.
According to the complaint by the victim's brother, the wife of Zulfikar had illicit relationship with a man from her village due to which there used to be frequent arguments between the couple, police said.

As he was unconscious, his wife thought he was dead and she eloped with her lover.
