Ggm engineer, laid off 2 weeks ago, kills wife; dies by suicide

A 30-year-old man murdered his wife, 23, at their Gurugram flat, locked the house, travelled to Ghaziabad by the Delhi Metro, and then died by suicide by jumping off the elevated Kaushambi Metro station on Monday morning, police officers aware of the matter said, adding that the accused also critically injured his toddler son before leaving his house.

Police said the incident came to light in the early hours of Monday, at around lam, when a private security guard at DLF Phase-3 in Gurugram heard a toddler crying incessantly. The guard informed police constables on patrol duty, who visited the first-floor flat.

"A team reached the spot and peeped through the window glass to spot a woman lying unconscious on the floor. We removed the window air conditioner beside the main gate to gain entry through its duct," Mayank Gupta, deputy commissioner of police (east), said.
