The incident came to light after the neighbours made a PCR call, when they heard Singh shouting in pain from inside his house.

“When we reached the house, the door was locked from inside. We broke it open and the couple lying on the ground. While Suman was dead, her husband was semi-conscious and was bleeding profusely from his wrists,” a senior police officer said.

Investigations revealed that Singh was drunk when he came back from work and found his wife speaking to someone over the phone. Suspecting that she was talking to her lover, he took a knife and killed her.
