Summary
- Accused arrested after allegedly stabbing his wife in Sonia Vihar.
- The victim is undergoing treatment at AIIMS following the attack.
- The accused has a prior history involving abduction and murder charges.
Authorities have apprehended a 35-year-old man, Manoj Kumar, in connection with a brutal stabbing of his wife in Delhi's Sonia Vihar. The incident occurred on April 22, following a heated argument that escalated due to ongoing marital disputes.
The 38-year-old victim sustained critical injuries and was initially taken to Jag Pravesh Chandra Hospital before being transferred to Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital. She is currently receiving treatment at AIIMS. Kumar was arrested after a brief manhunt, and police discovered he has a prior history involving abduction and murder charges.
This case underscores a troubling increase in spousal violence in the city. Recent incidents include a December 2025 case in Anand Parbat where a man allegedly killed his wife and then died by suicide, and another in east Delhi's Kasturba Nagar where a man allegedly strangled his wife over a monetary dispute before taking his own life.
