Delhi Businessman Allegedly Murders Wife, Disposes Body in Drain

In a shocking incident that has rocked the Delhi community, a businessman has been accused of murdering his wife and dumping her body in a drain. The victim’s decomposed remains were found wrapped in a gunny bag after residents reported a foul odor in the area.

Discovery of the Crime

The grim discovery occurred when locals notified authorities about an unpleasant smell near a drain. Upon investigation, police found the body concealed in a gunny bag. Initial efforts to identify the woman were unsuccessful as her wife declined to recognize the body. However, the victim’s mother later identified her daughter based on her clothing. She also informed the authorities about the ongoing disputes between her daughter and son-in-law, urging them to keep the details confidential.

Investigation and Arrests

As the investigation progressed, police questioned Munna Lal’s wife, who denied the allegations made by her mother-in-law. Officers also spoke to employees at Munna Lal’s scrap business. Interestingly, all employees were accounted for except for Rajendra, who had left the company six months earlier but returned the day after Munna Lal’s disappearance.

The police eventually detained Munna Lal’s wife, Rajendra, and another individual for questioning. After separate interrogations, all three suspects reportedly admitted to their involvement in the crime.

Motive Behind the Murder

The investigation uncovered that Munna Lal’s wife had been having an affair with Rajendra. When Munna Lal found out, he fired Rajendra and stopped financially supporting his wife. In retaliation, she allegedly conspired with Rajendra to kill her husband.

On the night of the murder, the wife reportedly allowed Rajendra and his accomplice into their home. While Munna Lal was asleep, they strangled him. His body was then wrapped up and disposed of in a nearby drain.

Legal Proceedings

The suspects have been charged with murder and conspiracy, and the police are continuing to investigate the case to uncover more details.

Similar Incidents in Delhi

This case adds to a series of domestic murders in Delhi. In a recent incident, a man allegedly strangled his wife — whom he had reportedly bought for ₹70,000 — due to dissatisfaction with her behavior. He and his brothers-in-law are accused of dumping her body in a forest.

These disturbing incidents highlight the urgent need for increased awareness and action against domestic violence and marital disputes in the region.
