Man kills wife in Sec 15 for refusing to pay for alcohol
Gurugram, Sept. 14 -- A 37-year-old man stabbed his wife to death in Sector 15 on Saturday morning allegedly because she repeatedly refused to give him money for alcohol over the past few months, police said, adding that the accused has been nabbed.
According to police, the woman, Dhanni Devi, 30, worked as a domestic help in Part 2 of Sector 15 and was on her way to her employer's bungalow when the incident happened, just 200 metres from the Civil Lines police station.
The deceased was from Panna district of Madhya Pradesh and lived with her five children in a rented accommodation in Patel Nagar, Sector 15. The suspect was identified as Karn Singh, 37, who lived separately from his wife and children in Pitampura, Delhi, said police. Investigators said that Devi was stabbed multiple times in the abdomen, chest and the back. A commuter spotted the incident following which he rushed to the police station for help. Police rushed her to a nearby private hospital. However, doctors referred her to Sector 10A civil hospital. When she was taken there, doctors declared her dead," said police.
Police officials said that the suspect regularly used to ask his wife for money to purchase liquor and other prohibited items and she would refuse him time and again. Sandeep Turan, public relations officer of Gurugram police, said he might have held a grudge against her for refusing his requests and stabbed and killed her. "He knew her route and time and was waiting with a knife for her to arrive," said Turan, adding that the suspect had fled the spot but a police team later chased and nabbed him.
"He was arrested after a murder case was registered against him on the complaint of the deceased's brother Suresh Vanshkar," said Turan.
The complainant told HT that a scuffle had unfolded on the road when Singh attacked her. "Devi tried to escape him but failed," he said. Vanshkar alleged that whenever she refused to give money for liquor, Karn used to assault her and the children. "On August 22, Karn had attempted to kill Devi by hitting her on the head with a brick. We approached Civil Lines police station for help. Singh was taken away by police but was released after being detained overnight," said Vanshkar....
