A 35-year-old woman was found dead with her throat slit inside a jhuggi in Shahdara’s Kailash Nagar area, said a police official on Saturday, adding that an investigation into the suspected murder had been launched.

He was alerted that a woman was lying inside a jhuggi in Chanderpuri with her throat slit. He immediately rushed to the spot, following which senior police officers also reached the scene and conducted an inspection.
The deceased has been identified as Rukshar (35), wife of Khalid. Preliminary investigation revealed that marital disputes between the couple had become frequent over the past two years.
