NEW DELHI: A man allegedly stabbed his wife to death using a knife and then attempted to end his life using a blade at their house in west Delhi’s Hari Nagar on Wednesday.
Police have registered a case of murder against the man, Harish Kumar, who is in hospital and critical.
Police called the murder brutal and said the woman had been stabbed multiple times in a way that even her intestine got exposed.
Vijay Kumar, the accused’s brother, informed the Hari Nagar police station that Harish had called him in the morning and told him that he had killed his wife following an argument.
Vijay also told the cops that Harish had locked himself in the same house in Tihar village.
After reaching the spot, a police team found the main door locked and broke it open.
“On entering the house, they found Harish lying on the bed with cut injuries on his hands.
Next to him was the blood-drenched body of his wife Pinky, who had multiple cuts and stab wounds,” said an officer.
Police found Harish alive and took him to a hospital.
His wife was declared dead on arrival and her body was sent for a postmortem.
Harish, police said, is an alcoholic and unemployed and the couple used to often fight over these.
“During one such argument, Harish lost his temper and attacked Pinky with the knife.
Police have found two knives and two blades that were used by Harish,” the officer said.
Police are also questioning the other family members.
