Delhi Man Arrested for Wife's Murder Influenced by Crime SeriesPreviousNext

A 53-year-old Delhi man, Kamal Singh, allegedly murdered his wife, Komal Singh, over a property dispute on July 30. Influenced by the crime series "The Staircase," he believed disposing of the weapon would help him evade police. After fleeing with cash withdrawn from his accounts, he was tracked through CCTV and technical surveillance and arrested near Mathura Railway Station. Police recovered a blood-stained pair of scissors and over Rs 12 lakh in cash during the investigation.
