In a deeply tragic incident, a man in Delhi's Najafgarh area reportedly killed his wife before attempting to end his own life. The unfortunate event unfolded after a prolonged dispute over the wife's social media endeavors, according to local law enforcement authorities.

The couple, identified as Aman, an e-rickshaw driver, and his wife, lived in Old Roshanpura with their two young sons. Initially from Pilibhit, Uttar Pradesh, they had been together for over a decade.
