According to the police, the victim's husband Manjeet, 30, allegedly slit her throat using a sharp-edged weapon at their home on Monday.
They said police received information about a fight between the couple around 7 pm and a team reached the spot and found the woman's body.
"We got to know that there was some dowry-related issue between the husband and the wife, due to which he killed her," a senior police officer said.
