A 30-year-old woman was thrashed to death allegedly by her husband in central Delhi's Hauz Qazi area on Friday, police said.
A PCR call was received at 1.15 pm that Salman Jawahar (32) had beaten up his wife Aafreen Naaj and she was lying unconscious, they said.
When a police team rushed to the spot, they found Naaj lying unconscious in a room. She was taken to a hospital where doctors declared her dead, a senior police officer said.
The preliminary investigation revealed that Naaj, a resident of Shah Ganj in Ajmeri Gate, and Jawahar had gotten married about 10 years ago and they have a son, police said.
