In a shocking revelation, Delhi police have apprehended a woman and her cousin for allegedly orchestrating the murder of her husband. The arrested individuals have been identified as Sushmita and her cousin, Rahul.

The victim, Karan Dev, reportedly fell prey to a calculated plan involving the administration of sleeping pills followed by electrocution. As per DCP Dwarka Ankit Singh's statement, on July 13, police were alerted about Karan's unnatural death by a hospital in Uttam Nagar. This triggered an investigation that led to a mandatory postmortem, despite initial resistance from Karan's family.

The investigation intensified after Karan's brother, Kunal, discovered incriminating WhatsApp chats between Sushmita and Rahul. These conversations hinted at a deliberate attempt to kill Karan with drug-laced food and electric shocks. Further confrontation revealed that Sushmita confessed to the crime, claiming she was blackmailed by Rahul, who also admitted to his involvement.
