Gzb: Man slits his own wrist after murdering wife on Valentine's Day
Ghaziabad: A man in his late 30s allegedly slit his wrist after killing his wife in Sector 5 of Vaishali area in Ghaziabad on Monday. Police have recovered a suicide note from his possession where he mentioned to have taken the extreme step for some personal reasons.
According to police, the man has been identified as Devjeet Dutta while his wife was identified as Pooja. The man planned this on Valentine's Day and sent his 10-year-old son to a relative's house, said police.
The matter came to light around 9 am, when neighbours found Devjeet lying unconscious at a vacant plot adjacent to his house with blood oozing out of the wound in his hand. Police was informed and he was taken to a nearby private hospital where his condition continues to be critical.
When police and neighbours went inside the house to investigate the matter, they found his wife lying on the bed. "Police along with neighbours entered the house and found a woman lying dead on the bed. She was identified as Devjeet's wife Pooja. Preliminary investigations revealed that the woman was strangled while the body has been sent for autopsy and reports are awaited," said Gyaneshwar Singh, Superintendent of Police (city), Ghaziabad.
A senior police officer said that Devjeet had planned the crime on Valentine Day as he had left his 10-year-old son to his in-laws house in Karol Bagh in Delhi. "Devjeet, along with his wife and son had visited his in-law's on Sunday to celebrate Valentine's Day. The couple returned to their house late in night but left their son to his mother-in-law's house," said Anshu Jain, Circle officer of Indirapuram area.
