A 33-year-old woman was arrested, along with six men for the conspiracy and murder of her husband using contract killers from UP, police said on Tuesday, a day after the body of the man was found with a gunshot wound on the Helipad Road near Rithala on Monday morning.

The Rohini district police said they solved the case within 24 hours and arrested the culprits. The arrested persons were identified as Seema, wife of the deceased, her male friend Gaurav Teotia (27), Rinku Panwar (22), Saurabh Chaudhary (23), Prashant (22), Vishan Kumar alias Vishnu (18) and Parvinder alias Pummy (23).

“They offered ₹4 lakh each to the five persons who executed the crime. Seema and Teotia were in a relationship for the past eight years and wanted to live together. So, they planned to get rid her husband once and for all,” said deputy commissioner of police (Rohini) Pranav Tayal.
