A woman and her paramour were arrested in New Delhi for allegedly attempting to murder her husband during a "stage-managed" snatching bid, police said on Friday.
Reena (24) and Satish Kumar Chauhan (21) were apprehended for their alleged involvement in the incident in which two motorcycle-borne men stabbed Reena's husband Om Prakash when he resisted their attempt to snatch her gold chain in Hari Nagar on May seven.
"The number of stab injuries sustained by the victim indicated that the robbery alone may not be the motive for this crime. We also noticed contradictions in the statement of Reena," a senior police official said.
"Though the husband had sustained grievous injuries, his wife did not have any injury or abrasion on her neck. We had our suspicions," he said.
Police spoke to other family members and Om Prakash's brother told them that he was not in good terms with his wife.
He further revealed that his brother had heard Reena talking to some unknown person in odd hours.
"It came to light during investigations that Reena used to talk to Chauhan for a long duration," the official said.
Chauhan was living in the neighbourhood of Om Prakash for the past three years. Om Prakash's nephew Deepak introduced Chauhan to his uncle and he started visiting his house frequently.
"He developed an intimacy with Reena and their relationship developed to the extent that they decided to live together forever. They formally accepted each other as a husband and wife after a marriage in a temple in November 2009," the official said.
Prakash got suspicious of his wife as she used to talk a lot on her mobile to some unknown person. When he raised objections and put restrictions on his wife's activities, she complained about this to Chauhan.
"Then they hatched a conspiracy to eliminate Prakash," the official said adding, they approached two criminals to carry out a "stage-managed" snatching bid and murder Prakash.
