Wife, lover among 3 arrested for husband's murder in Delhi
A woman named Nazia, also called Manju, is in serious trouble with the police.
The police say she planned to hurt her husband, Munna Lal, with the help of her boyfriend Chaman and his friend Kishan.
They say Nazia mixed a sleepy medicine into her husband's water.
When he fell asleep, Chaman and Kishan hurt him very badly with a rope, electric shocks, and a wooden stick.
Sadly, Munna Lal died from his injuries.
Nazia first told the police that robbers broke into the house and did it.
But a camera mounted outside the house showed a masked man coming in that night, so the police did not believe her story.
When the police showed her the video, she admitted what really happened.
Now Nazia, Chaman, and Kishan are all arrested, and the police are still learning all the details.
Manju alias Nazia (45) allegedly plotted her husband Munna Lal's murder with her lover Chaman (20) and his associate Kishan (28).
The 55-year-old victim was sedated, strangled with a rope, given electric shocks, and beaten with a wooden stick before his body was dumped near the house.
Nazia initially claimed burglars killed her husband, but CCTV footage showed a masked man entering at 1.45 am and leaving at 3.15 am that night.
Police said the motive was rooted in frequent domestic disputes, money troubles, physical assault, humiliation, and Nazia's affair with Chaman.
Police arrested all three and recovered Rs 15,000; Nazia allegedly promised Chaman Rs 5 lakh and paid an amount reported as Rs 20,00 or Rs 20,000.
