NEW DELHI: A man allegedly stabbed to death a former neighbour in New Ashok Nagar, east Delhi, on Monday night over suspicions of the victim having an extramarital affair with his wife, police said. The victim, Bechu Ram, originally from Uttar Pradesh, succumbed to his injuries at Lal Bahadur Shastri (LBS) Hospital, they said. The accused remains absconding.
Deputy commissioner of police (east) Apoorva Gupta said, "The accused suspected Ram of being in a relationship with his wife. A case has been registered, and multiple teams are searching for the accused." The officer withheld the suspect's identity, citing the ongoing investigation.
Police received a call around 10.30pm from LBS Hospital regarding Ram's admission with stab wounds. He was brought to the hospital by his relative, Amit Ranjan Mishra, but was declared dead upon arrival.
Ram had moved into a one-room flat in New Ashok Nagar two months ago. Police said the accused, who lived in the same building, was evicted two weeks ago with his wife after assaulting Ram over similar suspicions. "The house owner asked the couple to leave, but Ram, who was unmarried, stayed on," Mishra said.
On Monday, the accused, intoxicated and enraged, confronted Ram, accusing him of hiding his wife. "He stabbed Ram multiple times in the lower abdomen and fled," an officer said.
"Teams are working to apprehend the absconding accused," DCP Gupta added. Investigators are also questioning the accused's wife to locate him.
