Faridabad, Oct 16 A woman, along with her purported lover, allegedly conspired to murder her husband who stood in the way of the ‘affair’, with the wife allegedly landing the fatal knife blow on man’s neck.
The woman and the said lover have been arrested and are being questioned, police said on Friday.
According to police, the deceased Gopal, a native of Uttar Pradesh’s Hathras district, was residing in Shyam Colony in Faridabad, where he had been working for around 15 years.

According to the complaint filed by Bhoora, brother of the deceased, he reached Faridabad on Thursday morning and found Gopal dead at a relative’s place in Shyam Colony.

Following the complaint, a murder case was registered at Palla police station and Kajal and Yogendra were arrested on Friday, police said.
“During interrogation, the accused revealed that they had conspired to get rid of Gopal. On Wednesday, the deceased’s wife arrived in Faridabad and stayed at the home of a relative in Shyam Colony. Gopal also used to visit the place due to familial ties.
“Late Thursday night, Gopal arrived there under the influence of alcohol. After he fell asleep, his wife allegedly slashed his throat with a knife, which resulted in his death,” a senior police officer said.
