New Delhi: A 46-year-old businessman, who was in an extramarital relationship with an employee, was stabbed to death allegedly by the fiance of the woman who then stuffed the body in a suitcase, boarded a train, and disposed of it in Gujarat's Bharuch, police said here on Wednesday.

A quarrel had broken out at the woman's rented house in northwest Delhi involving her, her fiance and her mother, and victim Neeraj Gupta, a resident of Model Town, after he objected to the wedding, they said, adding the incident took place on November 13.

The police said Gupta was hit on the head with a brick by the man, stabbed thrice in the stomach, and later, his throat was slit. The woman and her mother helped him in disposing of the body, they added.

All three accused -- Faisal (29), her mother Shaheen Naaz (45), and fiance Juber (28) -- have been arrested, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Northwest) Vijayanta Arya said.

The matter came to notice after police were informed that Gupta had gone missing from Kewal Park in northwest Delhi's Adarsh Nagar.

Neeraj Gupta's wife told police that she suspected Faisal to be behind her husband's disappearance. She also disclosed that Faisal and Neeraj Gupta were in a long-standing relationship, a senior officer said.

Based on her complaint, a case was registered under section 365 (Kidnapping or abducting with intent secretly and wrongfully to confine person) of the Indian Penal Code and Faisal was interrogated, the police said.

"During the interrogation, Faisal disclosed that she worked for Gupta and was in an extramarital affair with him for the last 10 years. Her parents wanted to get her married to Juber and she got engaged to him. When she told this to Gupta, he discouraged her from marrying anyone and came to her rented house in Kewal Park extension in the area of Adarsh Nagar where heated arguments ensued between him and Juber, Faisal, and her mother," Arya said.

During the altercation, Gupta pushed Faisal which enraged Juber and he attacked and killed him, she said.

After killing Gupta, they stuffed the body in a suitcase and reached Nizamuddin railway station in a cab. Juber, who works in the pantry of Railways, boarded the Rajdhani Express with the suitcase and disposed of the body near Bharuch in Gujarat, the DCP said.

The knife and the brick used in the commission of the crime have been recovered, the police said, adding efforts to recover the body are being made and further investigation is in progress.

Hubballi (PTI): Distressed over Anjali Ambigera's brutal murder four days ago, her sister Yashoda Ambigera attempted suicide, their grandmother Gangamma Ambigera has said.

Speaking to reporters, Gangamma said Yashoda consumed phenyl as she was missing Anjali.

Anjali was stabbed to death by her neibhour Girish Sawant on May 15 as she did not entertain his proposal for marriage.

Gangamma said Yashoda was also depressed because she felt her sister would not get justice, as the accused Girish Sawant was arrested and is "living comfortably" in police custody.

"Yashodha was upset that her sister was not getting justice and her murderer was leading a comfortable life and is getting good treatment in a hospital. So, she consumed it (phenyl). She is okay now," Gangamma said.

She demanded that the accused be "eliminated".

Meanwhile, the BJP charged that law and order has deteriorated in the state.

"Murderers are having a field day due to deteriorating law and order," Karnataka Leader of opposition R Ashoka alleged.
