Married woman killed by lover

A 32-year-old woman was stabbed to death by her paramour, who also died after committing suicide in Southwest Delhi’s Inderpuri area on Sunday.

Lakshmi was stabbed by her paramour Sanjay (30) on Sunday evening around 8 pm in JJ Colony in Inderpuri, said a senior police officer.

Lakshmi knew Sanjay even before her marriage and the two were in a relationship, said the officer.

Lakshmi got married to Manoj but her affair with Sanjay continued, the police said.

In the last few days, Lakshmi had snapped ties with Sanjay and started avoiding him, said the officer, adding that Sanjay was quite enraged with Lakshmi’s attitude.

He confronted her while she was returning to her home and they had a heated argument, the police said.

In a fit of rage, Sanjay first slit his wrist with a knife and then stabbed Lakshmi multiple times and inflicted more injuries on himself, said the officer.

Lakshmi was declared brought dead by the doctors at the hospital while Sanjay succumbed to his injuries on Monday, the police said.

Lakshmi was married to Manoj for the last 13 years and had two kids while Sanjay was a bachelor.
