In an alleged murder case coming to light from Wadala, a 35-year-old man, who was at large after killing his wife over a monetary issue, was arrested by the sleuths of Wadala Truck Terminal (WTT) police station in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. Reports claim that the alleged incident happened at Kamlanagar area in Wadala East.
"The accused, Fazhul Rahman Qureshi alias Kaptan Qureshi, had killed his wife Rita Jaiswar (32) by slitting her throat last Saturday over some domestic issue concerning money," a police official said.

"Based on specific information, police nabbed him in Ghaziabad, where he was staying at his relative's residence. He was brought to Mumbai and arrested for the murder of his wife," he said, adding that Qureshi was produced before a court, which remanded him in police custody.
In another similar incident occurred earlier this month, Mohammed Raquib Khan, a resident of Gandhi Nagar, Khan Gali, allegedly strangulated Ajmatunnisa, 40, while his six daughters and his sister-in-law were asleep. After committing the crime, he called the police control room early on Monday morning to surrender.
The couple got into an argument when Khan demanded to know the name of the man she was allegedly having an affair with. Ajmatunnisa told him she was innocent but Khan punched her in the face and kicked her as well. He then pressed her mouth as she started screaming for help and strangulated her.
