New Delhi:

A Delhi man killed his wife over the suspicion that she was having an affair, the police said on Sunday. The victim, 35, has been identified as Draupadi and was found dead in her house in Delhi's Pakki Khajuri Khas area. The prime suspect, Sunil, is currently on the run, the police said.

"There were blood spots all around the room," the police said and added that the victim's body was found under her bed.

She had injury on her forehead and a cloth was wrapped around her neck, they said.

Her 15-year-old daughter told the police that she was last seen alive at about 12:30 PM on Saturday, and that her stepfather had since been missing after locking the door of their room.

"Local enquiry revealed that Sunil and Draupadi fought with each other almost every day," the police added.

She was living with Sunil for the past seven years and didn't have a child together.
