Noida police nabs man who bludgeoned wife to death with hammer
Noida, Apr 5 (PTI): A 53-year-old man who allegedly bludgeoned his wife to death with a hammer was arrested here on Saturday, police said.
Over suspicion of infidelity, Nurullah Haider on Friday murdered his wife Asma (42) by repeatedly hammering her on the head at their home in Sector 15, they said.
“First, I slit her neck while she was sleeping and then I attacked her face with a hammer. She died on the spot," Haider told police.
The couple’s 19-year-old son called emergency helpline 112 and informed police about the murder, the police said.
At the time of the incident, their son, 12-year-old daughter and Haider’s mother were present at home, they said.
A hammer and a knife were recovered from his possession, they said.
According to the police, Haider was unemployed for the last 10 years while his wife worked as a project manager with a company.
"She used to misbehave with me, due to which personal issues remain between us. Yesterday, an argument erupted between us so I planned to kill,” Haider told police.
An FIR under sections 103 (murder) and 61(1) (criminal conspiracy) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) has been registered against Haider at Noida’s Phase 1 Police Station and he has been arrested, the police said.

Odisha varsity's VC loses Rs 14 lakh in 'digital arrest' fraud, 2 nabbed from Gujarat
Berhampur, Apr 13 (PTI): Two persons were arrested from Gujarat for allegedly defrauding the vice chancellor of Odisha's Berhampur University, Geetanjali Dash, of Rs 14 lakh, police said on Sunday.
Identifying themselves as Enforcement Directorate (ED) officers, the accused reached out to Dash, claiming that she was involved in a money laundering case, they said.
She was kept under "digital arrest" from February 14 to 22, and asked to deposit all her cash for a priority investigation. Accordingly, she transferred Rs 14 lakh to them, police said.
Eventually, they returned her Rs 80,000 with the assurance that the rest would be given after verification. However, she did not get back the rest of the money, they said
Dash filed a complaint with the police on February 24, following which the arrests were made from Bhavnagar in Gujarat earlier last week.
Those arrested were identified as Bhutaiya Jenil Jaysukhbhai (23) and Vishwajeetsinh Gohil (21), police said.
The accused were brought to Berhampur on a five-day transit remand on Saturday, they said.
Several incriminating items, including mobile phones and Aadhar cards, were seized from them, police said.
Superintendent of Police of Berhampur Saravana Vivek M said the duo was part of a gang involved in several cyber crimes in various parts of the country.
"Efforts are being made to arrest the other members of the gang. Investigation is underway to trace their pan-India network and map the complete money trail," he said.
