Gurugram, April 14: A 32-year-old man was arrested for allegedly killing his wife on Saturday after her parents did not fulfil his demand for a further Rs 8 lakh in dowry, police said.
The arrested accused was identified as Hari Om, who lived in a rented accommodation of Pataudi Road here, and the victim as Laxmi.
