An Indian Army Major was today arrested from Meerut in Uttar Pradesh for his alleged involvement in the killing of another Army Major's wife in west Delhi yesterday, a senior officer said.
A police officer said that Army Major Nikhil Handa was arrested by the Delhi Police team. After the arrest, they informed their counterparts in Meerut.
The woman's body was found with her throat slit near the Brar Square in the Delhi Cantonment area yesterday.
Initially, the police was informed that a woman had died in an accident. Later, when they inspected the body, it was found that her throat was slit, they said.
The accused had allegedly run a car over her face and the body in order to make the incident appear as an accident, police said.
The woman was dropped at the Army Base Hospital in her husband's official vehicle by a driver yesterday.
Later, when he came back to pick her up, he could not find her and learnt that she did not attend her scheduled physiotherapy session.
