In another incident, a Manipuri woman was found dead, and a man was critically injured in an apparent case of domestic violence that turned fatal in South Delhi’s Munirka area on Sunday, said the Police.
The incident came to light after the Delhi Police received a PCR call regarding a quarrel between a couple at a residence in Gali No. 01, Munirka. Upon receiving the information, the beat staff from Police Station Kishangarh immediately arrived at the spot.
The police team found the main door of the house locked from the inside. After repeated knocking failed to elicit a response, they forced the door open.
When the police gained access to the bathroom, they found both individuals lying on the floor in a pool of blood. A knife was also recovered from the scene. The lady was reported to have a deep cut on the back of her neck, which led to profuse bleeding. The man also sustained a cut on his neck.
