Overview
- In Jhajjar district, police arrested chartered accountant Anshul Dhawan within about 18 hours and say he confessed after inconsistencies in his emergency call about a supposed robbery.
- Officers allege he strangled his wife Mehak and then slit her throat with scissors while wearing gloves, damaging the car and discarding jewellery to mimic a theft.
- Mehak, a 27-year-old bank employee married in September 2025, was reported pregnant by family, and police say post-mortem findings and further remand questioning are pending.
- In Hyderabad’s Vanasthalipuram, ex-husband Devarakonda Mahesh allegedly forced his way into Sunitha’s flat, stabbed her multiple times, poured petrol, and was taken into custody after locking himself in a washroom; her current husband reported a three-month pregnancy that police have not confirmed.
- Hyderabad police cite a grudge tied to a domestic-violence case that led to a look-out circular and passport suspension, and say knives, petrol and tools were recovered as the investigation and legal processing continue.
