34-year-old doctor Kamal Vedi was produced by the Delhi Police before a metropolitan magistrate who sent him to judicial custody till May 4.
Kamal was arrested yesterday from his residence in AIIMS quarters in south Delhi after his wife, Priya Vedia, an anaesthetist at AIIMS, was found dead with her wrist slit at a hotel in Paharganj in Central Delhi where she had checked-in after a fight with her husband.
However, in the suicide note she had claimed that she had "accepted it" and was ready to live with it but subsequent torture by her husband led her to take the extreme step, it said.
It said a detailed suicide note was found on the spot and a similar Facebook post made by the woman revealed that her husband's sexual orientation led to sour relationship between the doctor couple.
