Gurugram, Jun 13 (PTI) A brick supplier allegedly murdered his wife by striking her on the head with a hammer following a dispute in the Farrukhnagar area on Saturday morning, and then called the police to confess.
According to the police, a forensic team arrived at the scene to initiate an investigation. The body of Pooja (34) was sent for a post-mortem examination, and the accused was taken into custody for questioning.
Around 10.30 am on Saturday, the accused called the police to report that he had murdered his wife. When the police arrived at Shyam Colony in Farrukhnagar, they found him sitting next to Pooja’s body. There were blood splatters in the room, and belongings were scattered.
Upon questioning by the police, the accused identified himself as Nayab and stated that he had married Pooja approximately 15 years ago. Nayab works as a brick supplier in Farrukhnagar, while Pooja was a homemaker. The couple has a 10-year-old son who was not at home during the incident, according to the police.
A senior police officer mentioned that preliminary inquiries revealed Nayab and Pooja frequently quarrelled. Nayab reportedly had suspicions about Pooja’s character, leading to regular arguments between them.
During one such dispute on that morning, a scuffle broke out, and in a fit of rage, Nayab struck Pooja on the head with a hammer, resulting in her death on the spot.
“We have taken Nayab into custody and have informed Pooja’s family. Further action will be taken based on the complaint filed by the family. Interrogation of the accused is underway”, the officer stated. PTI COR MPL MPL
