A 30-year-old Afghan national was grievously injured after he was allegedly stabbed by his wife with a kitchen knife over a domestic dispute in south east Delhi's Jangpura area in the wee hours today.
"They had a fight over some domestic issue around 2.30 AM following which Ajiza (28) allegedly stabbed her husband Samir (29) in the stomach with a kitchen knife. Ajiza hails from Turkmenistan," a senior police officer said.
Samir was admitted to a nearby hospital where his condition is stated to be critical. A case has been registered and the accused is under watch.
Police have questioned the neighbours of the couple and are waiting for Samir to give his statement to take further action.
The couple had married in 2014 and were living in a rented accomodation in Jangpura. Samir reportedly had another wife who lived separately.
Ajiza was not happy with Samir's attention towards his first wife and they had regular fights over the issue, the officer said.
