Gurugram executive arrested for wife’s murder
GURUGRAM: What seemed to be the case of an accident, to begin with, is now being investigated by Gurugram police as a murder. On October 27, a bank employee named Deepika died after falling from the eighth floor of the Valley View society at Gwal Pahari road where she was residing. The case was reported at around 11 pm.
The incident took a twist on Sunday evening after the Gururgam police arrested the deceased's husband Vikram Chauhan and charged him for the murder of his wife.
The arrest was made after Deepika's father Harkishan Ahuja filed a complaint with Gurugram police where damming allegations have been leveled against the bank official's husband. It has also been alleged that not only did Vikram pushed Deepika from the floor but also beat her up coincidentally on the day of Karva Chauth.
The main cause of the crime is believed to be the illicit affair between Vikram who is a professional in the engineering firm with another woman who apparently is from the same society. According to the sources, even the woman who Vikram had affair with was also married. The affair was going on for six months as has been
claimed by sources. Vikram and Deepika married six years ago and had two children, a girl and a boy who was just born five months ago.
It has also been claimed that
even as a child was born to the couple recently, there were continuous arguments which indicated towards the strained relationship. “We have made an arrest in the case and we are interrogating the accused on the untimely death of his partner. We hope to make a headway in the case soon. We are also investigating other people who may have been involved in the possible murder of Deepika,” said a senior official from Gurugram police.
Incidents of crime emanating from domestic troubles is not a new phenomenon in Gurugram. Last year, Assamese artist Bidisha Bezbaruah committed suicide. Subsequently, the Gurugram police arrested her husband Nishith Jha. It was later revealed that Bidisha who had done a cameo in Jagga Jassos was depressed over her husband' extramarital affair.
