Noida:

A Bangladeshi man, living illegally in India, was arrested Sunday for allegedly killing one of his wives in Noida over the suspicion of an illicit relationship, the police said.

According to the police, the accused had also procured an Indian passport and two Aadhaar cards using residential addresses in West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh.

The woman was the third wife of the accused - Babul Miyan. The other two live in Bangladesh and West Bengal's Cooch Behar district, where he first stayed after crossing into India around a decade ago.

"Babul Miyan worked as a daily wage worker and his wife Fatima Bibi had a relationship with a local construction work contractor. On August 4, when Babul returned from a trip to Bengal, he found Fatima and contractor Sajid at his home," a police spokesperson said.

"Later, he confronted Fatima inside Sajid's home and an argument ensued. He pulled his wife to the bed and strangled her to death with the dupatta she was wearing and fled," the police official said.
