The Gurugram police arrested a man for allegedly strangling his wife with her scarf in Bans Aliyar village under the IMT Manesar police station area. After the murder, the accused fled the scene but was arrested in the wee hours on Thursday. The police said Narendra Singh lived with his wife, Kajal Devi, and their four children. Both worked as labourers in a private company.
According to the police, Kajal (36) usually returned home at 8 pm, while her husband reached home around midnight. On Wednesday night, he allegedly saw her talking on the phone.
