New Delhi, Mar 23 A man was arrested for allegedly killing his wife, two days after she was found dead at her south Delhi residence, police said today.
Police said Manoj Kumar (34) strangled Neelam (33) with the help of a friend and then removed her mangalsutra and ransacked the house to make it look like a robbery-cum-murder to mislead them.
He allegedly committed the murder at around 5 pm on Saturday, went out of the house and returned at 7.30 pm.
"He went inside, took his wife's body and rushed it to Moolchand Hospital without informing police. This move made us suspicious. Later, hospital authorities called us and informed that a woman had been brought dead," a senior police official said.
They were married for the last eight years.
The couple did not have children and this was a major source of discontentment between husband and wife, the official said.

Ranchi, Mar 23 A policeman was today gunned down by Maoists in Jharkhand's Sareikela-Kharsawan district as their 48-hour shutdown entered the second day.
The rebels fired indiscriminately on a police patrolling team near Chouka police station in Sareikela around 1.30 am, killing a policeman on the spot, police said here.
The policeman was identified as Kalicharan Bodra.
The Maoists melted away into the forests after a strong retaliatory action by securitymen, police said.
Security forces have launched raids in the area even as deployment of forces are in place at strategic locations to keep a strict vigil during the shutdown that ends tonight.
The bandh has so far caused cancellation of many trains, including the Ranchi-Delhi Garib Rath, Palamau Express, besides passenger trains for the second consecutive day, railway officials said.
Several express trains have been diverted through the Mugalsarai-Gomo route, they said.
