Ghaziabad: A woman along with three of her accomplices allegedly killed her husband on the suspicion that he was having extra-marital affairs, police said on Tuesday.
A police patrol party reportedly signaled a white car to stop for checking on Gang Nehar road this morning. Upon interrogation, the car driver told police that he is taking his ailing wife for a check-up, Subodh Kumar Saxena, SHO of Murad Nagar police station, said.
Police got suspicious and peeped inside the car to verify whether the lady lying on the back seat clad in a 'burqa' is actually ill. To their astonishment, the cops noticed a 'black beard' piercing out of the 'burqa' following which all the four passengers were detained, he said.
Upon interrogation, the driver confessed that last night the woman served a sedative laced drink to her husband , reportedly named Dilshad, as she suspected that he was having extra-marital affairs.
"Today morning, I along with my wife and a friend strangled Dilshad and planned to throw his dead body in Gang Nehar at Murad Nagar," the driver said.
The body has been sent for post-mortem and all the four accused have been arrested, SHO Saxena added.
