According to the police, the victim was identified as Anupama who was a native of Bihar. Her husband works as a daily wage earner in Gurugram. The police said that the couple got married around 15 years ago and their children stay with their relatives in Bihar.

The incident took place on Tuesday late night when the victim and the suspect allegedly had a heated argument with each other over a matter. The police said that they received information regarding the incident on Wednesday around 9.30am.

Satpal, assistant sub-inspector (ASI), Kherki Daula police station, said that the victim’s neighbour saw the door of their room locked from outside. When they opened it, they saw her dead body. “After receiving the information, we immediately reached the spot where we found the woman lying on the floor in a pool of blood. She was hit on her head with a stone slab and had deep wounds on her head. We suspect that she and her husband had an argument over something on Tuesday late night after which he killed her.”
