A 27-year-old woman was found murdered at her flat in Sushant Lok apartment here, police said Tuesday.
The woman, who had been working with a telecom firm in Delhi's Mayur Vihar area, was allegedly strangulated to death by her husband on Monday, the police said citing a complaint lodged by the victim's father.
The couple has a five-year-old son and the family had been living in a rented accommodation.
According to preliminary investigation, the victim Monica was killed by her husband Hari Prakash, an army jawan who was posted in Firozpur in Punjab, a senior police officer said.
The couple's son Parshva was the only witness to the crime, the officer said, adding that a case has been registered against Hari Prakash who has been absconding.
The officer said that the army headquarters will also be informed about the incident.
"We have registered a case against Hari Prakash. The postmortem will be done on Wednesday," said the officer.
The victim's father Ram Niwas also accused his son-in-law of torturing her daughter, saying Hari Prakash wanted his wife to leave the job and stay with his family in Rajasthan.
The incident came to light Tuesday morning when neighbours reported foul smell coming from the flat and informed the police.
