She resided in another room in the same building and found the victim’s body lying unconscious on the ground.
“The woman was strangulated with a broad belt-type rope found lying near her body,” said Ecotech III SHO Bhubanesh Kumar. He further added that Kundan fled from the spot after murdering his wife and the dead body was discovered by the sister who then immediately informed the police. An FIR has been lodged against Kundan under IPC section 302 (murder) and was later arrested by the police on Monday.
