New Delhi: A 23-year-old woman was strangled to death allegedly by her husband in outer Delhi’s Bawana. Police arrested the husband, who suspected her of having an extramarital relationship.
The incident came to light on Tuesday when police received a call from the woman’s 18-year-old brother who told them that his brother-in-law killed his sister. A team from the local police station reached the spot near D-block JJ Colony, Bawana and found the body of Sabina Parveen with visible signs of assault, particularly around her mouth.
“According to the victim’s family members, there was a violent altercation between Sabina and her husband, Saane Alam (28), the previous night. The victim’s body was discovered lying on the road around 5.30 am,” said a senior police officer.
The couple, who were married for four years, used to fight often over allegations of an extramarital affair.
Police have registered an FIR for murder and the accused husband has been taken into custody. Further investigation is underway. Cops are awaiting the autopsy report to ascertain the degree of physical assault faced by the woman.
