New Delhi, Nov. 29 -- A 28-year-old man was arrested and his 17-year-old accomplice was held earlier this week for allegedly shooting dead the former's second wife, and dumping her body in a field in Uttar Pradesh's Baghpat on November 21, police said.
Police said the woman, Ayat Khan, 25, married the man in April and was pressurising him to take her to his house, after finding out that he had not divorced his first wife, and wanted him to separate from her, due to which he killed her, police said. The accused was identified as Faizal Chaudhary, 28, of Khajuri Khas.
