Udhyog Nagar police station received a call about the murder of one Mahaveer Bairwa, a daily wage labourer, at his house in Prem Nagar. He was 27.

Anita Duhan, Circle and IPS officer, said that when police reached the house of Mahaveer, his wife Yashoda, 24 informed them that three men entered the house, threw chilli powder in her husband’s eyes and stabbed him to death. They also ran away with ₹18,000 and her mangalsutra.

Besides Yashoda, her 17-year-old sister and the couple’s two kids were present in the house when the crime took place.

“Contradictory statements, spread of red chilli powder from kitchen towards the dead body of Mahaveer and bite marks on the hands of Yashoda raised suspicion on the statements of Mahaveer’s wife, sister,” officer Duhan said.

All of them stabbed Mahaveer multiple times, Yashoda told the police.

The police arrested Yashoda and her sister and also got hold of absconding Om Prakash from his rented house in Prem Nagar colony.

Yashoda has confessed to the police that she was in an extra-marital affair with Om Prakash for the last four years.

Meanwhile, the police handed over the dead body of Mahaveer to his parents after autopsy.
