A man was arrested for killing his first wife to marry another woman, police said Sunday.
Rahul, 24, was nabbed from his residence in Ghaziabad's Loni Saturday night following the murder of his first wife Khushbu, 22, whose headless and decomposed body was recovered from a rented house in east Delhi's Karawal Nagar Saturday.
The accused, an employee with a private company in Gurgaon, told police he killed Khushbu Nov 19 night and went to his village where he married a woman, Pinki, Nov 20.
"He also revealed that he married the victim in April against the wishes of his family members," said a police officer.
"Following pressure from his family members, he agreed to remarry but did not tell Khushbu about it," said the officer.
Khushbu's body was recovered after foul smell emanated from the rented house and neighbours informed police.
Neighbours also said Rahul left home Nov 20 morning telling them his wife had gone to her parents' home and he was going there to give her some clothes.
