New Delhi, Dec 19 (IANS) A woman was found stabbed to death and her tenant hanging from the ceiling fan when her husband returned to his northwest Delhi home Saturday. Police are probing whether the tenant murdered the woman before hanging himself.
The incident was reported from Begampur Extension village when Pramod found his wife Sarojni dead, with injuries due to stabbing and being hit with an iron rod on her body and head. Their tenant, Pappu, who lived in their home for the last one-and-a-half years, was hanging from the fan in the drawing room.

Pramod had gone to purchase vegetables in Wazirabad on Pappu’s suggestion, police said.

“Pappu wanted Pramod to go and buy vegetables from Wazirabad which suggests that he wanted Pramod to go out of the house. We are also probing if the deceased had an illicit relationship. It could be that they were secret lovers and after Pramod left the house, they got into a fight and Pappu killed Sarojini before committing suicide,” a police officer said.
