Sedative, electric shocks: Delhi woman kills husband, promised ₹50 lakh to lover to plot murder
The accused, identified as Manju alias Nazia, allegedly mixed a sedative in water and gave it to her husband, Munna Lal, so that he loses consciousness
In a south Delhi neighborhood, 45-year-old Manju alias Nazia allegedly plotted the murder of her 55-year-old husband, Munna Lal. She sought the help of her lover, 20-year-old Chaman, promising him ₹50,000 for his participation in the crime. The accused allegedly mixed a sedative in water and gave it to Munna, causing him to lose consciousness.
Following this, Chaman and his associate, 28-year-old Kishan, attacked Munna, strangling him with a rope, giving him electric shocks, and hitting him with a wooden stick. The body was then dumped near the house. Police discovered the crime scene at around 5:15 am on August 10, finding Munna dead with multiple injury marks. Initially, Nazia tried to mislead investigators by claiming it was a burglary, but her story changed when they reviewed CCTV footage.
She confessed to the crime after being confronted with the evidence. The police also recovered ₹15,000 from the accused. Domestic disputes, physical abuse, financial troubles, and Nazia's affair with Chaman reportedly contributed to her decision to kill her husband.
