Kishan Lal, 32, is accused of slitting the throat of his 27-year-old wife, Sunita, following a violent argument spurred by suspicions of infidelity.

As reported by Times of India, the tragic incident unfolded in east Delhi’s Geeta Colony when Kishan Lal, a 32-year-old resident of Geeta Colony, followed his 27-year-old wife, Sunita, to her mother's house.

According to a Republic TV report, Lal's request for privacy led to a fatal confrontation. After Vimala exited the house, Lal locked the door from the inside and began a violent argument with Sunita. The situation quickly escalated, and Lal began to physically assault her. Despite Sunita’s desperate cries for help, Vimala was unable to open the door. Lal reportedly stuffed a cloth into Sunita’s mouth to muffle her screams before using a kitchen knife to slit her throat. Delhi Shocker: Man Punches and Abuses Woman Inside Car After Heated Argument in Greater Kailash, Video of Assault Surfaces.
