A shocking incident has emerged from Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, where a 35-year-old Delhi government employee, Shashank Kanthariya, was allegedly attacked by his wife’s gym trainer while he was sleeping beside his young daughter.

According to police, Shashank discovered his wife Priya Sharma’s alleged relationship with gym trainer Pratap Singh in September 2026.

He reportedly confronted her and planned to move to Delhi after Diwali. Investigators suspect that the couple plotted to eliminate him because he had discovered their relationship and intended to relocate.

On October 26, the trainer allegedly entered their home in Vasundhara and stabbed Shashank multiple times.

His daughter woke up during the attack, and her cries alerted neighbours. The accused trainer was reportedly caught while attempting to flee.

Police arrested both Priya and Pratap on October 27 on allegations of attempted murder and criminal conspiracy. Shashank sustained serious injuries and was admitted to the ICU. The investigation is ongoing, and the allegations are yet to be established in court.

A deeply disturbing case that raises serious questions about domestic violence by partner, betrayal and the safety of victims within their own homes.
