Army major murders fellow officer's wife over obsession

An Indian Army Major Nikhil Rai Handa (in pic) was arrested on Sunday from Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut for his alleged involvement in the murder of a fellow officer’s wife Shailza Dwivedi (35), who was found with her throat slit near the Delhi Cantonment Metro station.

A police official said that Handa was obsessed with Shailza and was enraged because she had been snubbing his advances and was trying to distance herself from him. Shailza’s family has accused Handa of stalking her. Her brother, a lawyer, alleged that Handa had mistaken his sister’s “friendly behaviour” as a signal that she liked him.
