A 30-year-old woman was stabbed to death in Bhangrola village under the Kherki Daula police station. Her blood-soaked body was found on roadside about 100 m from her home.
On getting information, a police team reached the spot and took the body into custody. The police sent the body for a post-mortem examination and initiated an investigation.
According to the police, the woman has been identified as Rekha Devi, a native of Bhojpur village in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh.
She lived with her husband, Gaurav, on rent in Bhangrola village. Her husband, who works for a private company here, is suspected of killing her. The police are on a lookout for him.
According to the police, around 6 am on Wednesday, some people passing by Bhangrola village informed the police control room about a woman’s body lying there. The FSL and scene-of-crime teams arrived at the scene and investigated. Multiple stab wounds were found on the woman’s body.
“The suspicion is on her husband Gaurav, who has been absconding since the incident. The family of the deceased has been informed and a post-mortem will be conducted upon their arrival. Further probe is under way,” said a senior police officer.
