Gurugram: Engineer stabbed to death with kitchen knife by wife in presence of kids

In a horrifying incident reported from Gurugram, a 39-year-old engineer was stabbed to death with knife allegedly by his wife at home, police said. Further adding that the couple's two kids were present in the house at the time of the incident. The woman claims it was an accident.

According to the police, the children are undergoing emotional stress.

The domestic argument between the couple was the cause behind Sachin Kumar’s death on Friday. The victim was stabbed in the chest, the police said.

According to Preetpal Singh, SP, Crime, Gurgaon Police, "The incident was reported from Jyoti Park colony. A domestic altercation between a couple escalated; the wife stabbed the man with a knife that resulted in his death. We have filed a case under relevant sections of the IPC. The investigation is underway".

An FIR has been lodged following Sachin’s brother, Neeraj, registered a compliant against his brother’s wife, identified as Gunjan.

The victim’s sisters, identified as Reshma and Shipli have made an appeal for justice and asked for immediate arrest of Gunjan."We demand that the woman be arrested and punished for what she did. We demand justice," said Reshma victim's sister.

"The 11-year-old girl is scared and being manipulated to speak what she has been taught by the mother. She says her father got knifed inadvertently, but that's not true. He was stabbed by his wife," Reshma said.

Sachin Kumar tried taking the knife away from his wife and it is then that he got injured. He was then taken to a hospital but died due to excessive loss of blood, said police.

"Sachin was a mild-mannered man. He used to come on Friday evening and would leave by Sunday. During that time, there were fights. We never heard Sachin's voice, but Gunjan could be heard shouting. We would go to see what's happening and invariably find the couple arguing in the room," said a neighbour.
