Gurugram, Apr 27 (PTI) A 24-year-old man was strangled to death allegedly by his wife’s teenage lover and his accomplice, with police finding his body from a trunk in his house in Sector 54 here, officials said on Monday.
The accused, Sonu Kumar (19) and his accomplice Mohammad Miraj (20) — both natives of Bihar — were arrested on Monday, they said.
During interrogation, Sonu revealed that he and Aman’s wife, Sunita, were in an illicit relationship, and when the victim came to know about this, a dispute arose, the police said.
The police has also detained Sunita questioning her.
“Sonu was afraid that Aman might take revenge. So he hatched a plan and murdered him on April 25 at around 6.30 am when he was alone in the Banjara market area,” they said.
Aman used to work as a delivery agent, and his wife as house help. She was allegedly out early for work on the day of the incident, the police said.
