According to police, Dinesh Chauhan had killed his wife Geeta over suspicion of an extramarital affair.
He was admitted to the hospital in critical condition.
A police officer on the case stated:
“He (Dinesh) suspected she (Geeta) was having an affair with some man.
“Dinesh would also often fight with his neighbours and family members.
“This was because he was suffering from a mental illness for which he did not take regular treatment.
“He kept well while undergoing treatment. But when he stopped taking the medications, his mental condition would deteriorate.”
The police have registered a case of murder against Dinesh.
