GURGAON: A senior executive with a consultancy firm murdered his wife, stabbing her 18 times in their Gurgaon home on Sunday morning, after an argument over her alleged infidelity spiralled out of control. He then called up the police and surrendered.
Rajnish Kumar Singh, 44, an IIM-Ahmedabad alumnus and vice president with Shared Reach consultancy firm in Gurgaon, used a kitchen knife to stab his wife in the stomach, chest and back. The victim, Shweta Bindra, 36, ran a play school in DLF Phase IV. The couple had been married for nine years.
Two of the couple's three children — a daughter, 7, and an 11-month-old son — were sleeping at the time in their house at Parsvanath Green Ville. A five-year-old daughter was at a relative's house.
Singh told police that the argument "went out of control". After the stabbing, he called up his parents and then informed the cops. Shweta was dead when the police reached the house.
Badshahpur police reached the spot and arrested the accused. "We got a call from the police control room around 10.43am, after the accused had called them about the murder. We took the body in custody and recovered the knife used in the murder. An FIR has been lodged and we are questioning the accused. He will be produced in a city court on Monday", said inspector Jitendra Rana, SHO, Badshahpur police station. The body was later sent to civil hospital for post-mortem.
"The accused claims that his wife had an illicit relationship with a person living in the neighbourhood who works in her daughter's school. We are questioning him and will verify his claim. He is an alumnus of IIM-Ahmedabad, 1995 batch. The victim hails from Himachal Pradesh", said Vivek Sharma, joint commissioner of police, (crime), Gurgaon.
A senior member of the RWA said the couple's flat is on the ground floor of C block. The victim was last seen around 7.30am, when she came out to buy milk. After sometime, the guard and other residents heard noises and sound of children crying. By the time residents reached the flat, the accused had called the police. "The family lived in a rented accommodation and rarely interacted with the neighbours. Not many people knew them," he added.
The consultancy firm where the accused is employed was founded in 2009 and runs out of Sikandarpur in Gurgaon. It's a a new age audit and analytics company providing real-time insights to retail brands.
