Hyderabad : A 28-year-old woman was allegedly stabbed to death by her husband at their residence in Balapur on Monday night following a domestic dispute. Police arrested the accused on Tuesday.
Ajmeera returned home from work around 6 pm on Monday, following an argument that broke out between the couple, according to the police.
Police said Ajmeera, a native of West Bengal, had moved to Hyderabad about two years ago with her husband Mustafa and their three sons in search of livelihood. “When my husband knocked on the door at around 8 pm, Mustafa shouted from inside that he had killed Ajmeera and fled from the house,” Reena Bibi told police. The victim, Ajmeera Begum, worked as a daily wage labourer at function halls in New Baba Nagar and Jalpally under the Balapur police station limits. The family was living in a rented house. However, the dispute continued. Alerted by local residents, family members rushed to the house and found Ajmeera lying in a pool of blood. Balapur police shifted the body for postmortem examination, while a Clues team visited the scene and collected evidence.
