Man Arrested for Stabbing Wife to Death in East Delhi Over Suspected AffairPreviousNext

A 35-year-old man, Anuj Joshi, was arrested for allegedly stabbing his wife, Sonam Joshi, to death while she slept at her sister-in-law's home in East Delhi's Karkardooma village. Sonam, 30, originally from Lucknow and working as a domestic help in Noida, had recently moved there. Police said Anuj traveled from Lucknow with a knife purchased beforehand, attacked Sonam early Sunday, and was caught after attempting to flee. Investigations suggest suspicion of an extramarital affair as a possible motive. Both have children from previous and current marriages, all residing in Lucknow.
