In a shocking incident that has rocked Rampur Fatehpur village in Uttar Pradesh’s Gautam Buddha Nagar district, a 36-year-old man, Sonu Sharma, allegedly stabbed his 28-year-old wife, Chanchal Sharma, to death on Sunday morning. Police reports indicate that the brutal act stemmed from Sharma’s suspicions of his wife’s infidelity, which sparked a heated argument that turned deadly.
The couple, married for eight years and residing in a rented home in the village under the Dadri police station’s jurisdiction, had been grappling with marital discord, according to local sources. During interrogation, Sonu confessed to the police that his suspicions of Chanchal’s unfaithfulness drove him to commit the crime. “He admitted that an argument over her alleged cheating escalated, and in a fit of rage, he stabbed her,” a police spokesperson stated.
Chanchal’s lifeless body was discovered at their residence, prompting a swift response from the Dadri police. Authorities have taken Sonu into custody, and a murder investigation is underway. The victim’s body has been sent for a postmortem examination to determine the exact cause of death, while a forensic team meticulously inspected the crime scene to gather evidence.
