Husband Strangled, Given Electric Shocks in South Delhi Area; Wife, Lover Among 3 Nabbed for Murder

Police say the wife promised her lover Rs 5 lakh, then helped stage the killing as a burglary before all three suspects were arrested.

  • On Wednesday, Delhi Police arrested Manju alias Nazia, her lover Chaman, and his associate Kishan for allegedly murdering her 55-year-old husband, Munna Lal, in South Delhi's Sangam Vihar area through sedation and physical assault.
  • Frequent domestic disputes, financial issues, and Nazia's affair with Chaman motivated the conspiracy; she promised him Rs 5 lakh and provided sleeping pills to incapacitate Munna Lal on the night of the attack.
  • Once Munna Lal was sedated, Chaman and Kishan attacked him, strangling the victim and administering electric shocks before striking him with a wooden stick to ensure he was dead, Deputy Commissioner of Police Anant Mittal said.
  • Nazia initially staged a burglary to mislead investigators, but CCTV footage revealed a masked man entering and leaving the house. When confronted with the evidence, she confessed to the crime.
  • Police recovered Rs 15,000 from the three suspects, who remain in custody as an investigation continues to establish the complete sequence of events leading to the victim's death.
