Delhi Police on Sunday arrested a 35-year-old man for allegedly stabbing his wife, an advocate, with a sharp object in Khajuri Khas area of northeast Delhi, an official said.

The accused, Manoj Kumar, a resident of Sonia Vihar, was arrested from the Khajuri Khas area on Sunday, the officer said.

The incident took place on April 22 when Kumar allegedly stabbed his 38-year-old wife in the Khajuri Khas, police said, adding that she was admitted at AIIMS, Delhi, for treatment.

“During interrogation, Kumar confessed to the crime and told police that he attacked his wife following a family dispute,” the officer said.

Domestic discord is believed to be the motive behind the attack, though investigators are examining all angles, police said.

Further verification revealed that the accused was previously involved in a case related to abduction and murder, police said.
