A woman from Manipur died and a man was injured following an alleged domestic dispute at a residence in southwest Delhi’s Munirka area, police said on Monday.
According to police, a PCR call was received at Kishangarh Police Station on Sunday regarding a quarrel between a husband and wife at Munirka Village.
The deceased has been identified as Thempi Khongsai, a beautician from Senapati district, Manipur, and resident of Munirka Village. The injured man, Thangjam Viney Meitei, a grocery shop owner from Bishnupur district, Manipur, was also living in the same house.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southwest) Amit Goel said the two had been living together for about three years. On Saturday, they reportedly argued, after which the woman informed her father about the quarrel. Her father then alerted the landlady, whose daughter contacted the police.
When police arrived, they broke open the main door and the bathroom door, both locked from inside, and found the couple lying on the floor with neck injuries. A blood-stained knife was recovered from the scene.
Both were rushed to AIIMS Trauma Centre, where the woman was declared dead while the man remains under treatment.
Preliminary investigation suggests that the quarrel turned violent, resulting in the woman’s death from a deep neck wound. Police said further details will be confirmed after recording the man’s statement, and legal proceedings are underway.
