A man in New Delhi’s Shastri Park area allegedly murdered his wife’s lover after discovering the two together in his home. The incident occurred when Ajmat, the accused, found his wife with 21-year-old Ritik Verma, who had been having an affair with her for several months. Enraged, Ajmat beat both his wife and Ritik, leaving the victim with severe injuries, including a blunt head wound.
After the attack, Ritik was rushed to Jag Pravesh Chandra Hospital and later referred to Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries. According to police reports, Ritik was unable to provide a statement before his death.
Witnesses revealed that Ajmat had tortured Ritik, even tearing out his nails and inflicting injuries all over his body. A neighbor confirmed the brutality of the assault, stating that both Ritik and the wife were beaten severely by multiple individuals.
The case, initially reported to Shastri Park police, has now been escalated with additional charges under the Bharat Nyay Sanhita. Police believe the motive behind the murder was revenge, and an investigation is ongoing.
Ajmat has been apprehended, and the police are continuing to examine the details of the case.
