Unhappy with marriage, wife killed ND Tiwari's son

April 24, 2019 12:54

Unhappy with the marriage, Apporva Shukla Tiwari smothered her husband Rohit Shekhar Tiwari to death while he was drunk, said the police after arresting her on Wednesday.

"She was unhappy with the marriage, Apoorva smothered him while Rohit was drunk. She committed the crime herself without any help. She will be produced in the court soon," officials of the Delhi Police Crime Branch said.

Apoorva was arrested today after three-day of interrogation. The arrest comes after the Crime Branch of Delhi Police on Sunday took Apoorva, a maid and a servant to an undisclosed location for interrogation in connection with Shekhar's death.

A case of murder (Section 302 of Indian Penal Code) was registered on Thursday after the post mortem examination report revealed that Rohit died an "unnatural death" due to "strangulation and smothering."

Rohit had fought a long battle in court to prove that he was the son of the stalwart Congress leader ND Tiwari. The former Chief Minister had refused to give his blood sample for a DNA test in 2012, but the same was proven two years later. -- ANI
