During the investigation, it has been revealed that the duo got married 16 years back and had three children aged 14, 11, and 8. Shaikh used to work as a painter but he did not have any work during the monsoon and used to stay at home most of the time.
Waseem, brother of Naseem, told the police that Shaikh did not do any work. He had sold all the ornaments for his own expenses and the deceased used to work as a housemaid.
Last night, both of them had a fight. His nephew, Noor, called Waseem and informed him that his father has stabbed his mother, the officer added.
But according to what the accused told the police during interrogation, the deceased woman was in a relationship with some other person. The accused also saw her with the person many times and they often fought over it.
Yesterday, too, there was a fight between the duo about the same thing, after which he killed her with the intention of getting rid of her forever, said another officer.
A case had been registered under Section 302 of IPC. The accused was produced before the court today and was remanded to police custody, the officer further added.
