Man kills wife, reveals plot over drinks
NEW DELHI: Around a dozen policemen scanned a forested area near Delhi University’s North Campus on Friday night to trace a woman’s body. In their search operation, which continued till Saturday afternoon, it was the killer who was guiding the cops.
Finally, the body was found under a heap of soil. Police said the accused, Manoj, had killed his wife Komal due to a marital discord. According to the family, it was love at first sight for 25-year-old Manoj and Komal (22).
While Komal worked at a restro-bar, Manoj ran a general store. He met Komal at the bar and the couple fell in love. After dating for a few months, the two decided to get married.
Two years ago, they opted for a court marriage and rented a house in northwest Delhi’s Kanjhawala. Everything was hunky-dory for about a year. Manoj showered Komal with gifts and she cooked his favourite food.
However, something had gone wrong between them and they started fighting over petty issues. Manoj would get suspicious if Komal spoke to a neighbour or a male colleague. He even beat her up if she came home late.
Komal’s life became a living hell with physical torture and abuses becoming a daily affair. Unable to cope with the constant fights she had with Manoj, Komal had left him and started living with her parents a few days ago.
Manoj remained defiant for the first two-three days. Then he started calling her up, asking to return home. Komal, however, refused to come back. Her refusal added to the suspicion Manoj had harboured in his mind. Finally, he decided to eliminate her. However, knowing that she would not meet him easily, Manoj hatched an elaborate
plot.
He apologised to her profusely through Thursday and Friday and convinced her to met him one last time. Komal, however, refused to come home and asked him to meet at a public place. Accordingly, they met in Raghuveer Nagar on Thursday but started fighting again.
He then did a recce of “Bonta Park” near DU and asked her to meet there. Once she arrived, Manoj asked her to talk in private and not create a scene in public. He took her inside the jungle and kicked her and pushed her to the ground.
He then strangled her with a clutch wire he brought along and hid the body in the bushes.
On Friday evening, Manoj decided to celebrate his “new-found freedom” with his friends. Once he got drunk, Manoj confided in a friend that he had killed his wife. The friend alerted police and Manoj was taken into custody. He was arrested and sent to Tihar Jail after interrogation.
