Suspecting his wife of having an extra-marital affair, a man allegedly killed her and then surrendered before police at south-east Delhi's Govindpur area, police said today.
35-year-old Ram Kanwal allegedly strangulated his wife Pinky (28) to death with a stole while she was asleep in the wee hours of yesterday, a senior police officer said.
The couple lived in Govindpur and had three children. But the children were staying with Kanwal's mother.
