A 38-year-old woman was allegedly stabbed by her husband in northwest Delhi's Mangolpuri area, police said on Sunday.
On Thursday, information was received at Mangolpuri police station that Mangolpuri resident Seema Jha was admitted to Sanjay Gandhi hospital after getting injured in a quarrel with her husband, Deputy Commissioner of Police (outer) Harendra Singh said.
Police reached the hospital where Seema was found unfit for the statement and no eyewitness was present there. The woman succumbed to injuries on Saturday, police said.
Initially, the victim's husband Ajeet Jha was apprehended and a case under section 307 (attempt to murder) of the IPC was registered against him, the DCP said.
