In the meantime, Khan too had started construction of his new house in his village to stay with Neetu after his marriage.

Neetu and Dharmesh were married for 20 years and have two children, Preet Pal Singh Sangwan, ACP, Crime, said.

Sangwan said that the Neetu had come in contact with Khan through one of their maids.

"During interrogation, the accused revealed that a maid used to work in their house. She suspected that her husband was having an affair with her, so she fired her.

"About six months ago another maid was hired. That maid was in touch with Babloo Khan and through her, Neetu befriended Babloo Khan, a resident of Sambhal in Uttar Pradesh. After that both of them started talking and fell in love," he said.

According to police, Neetu had tipped off Khan that her husband would be sleeping in an under-construction building in Sector 22 on the night of October 29.
