A woman has been arrested by Delhi Police for allegedly murdering her husband because he was not able to sexually satisfy her, officials said on Thursday.

According to the police, on the evening of July 20, around 4.15 pm, Nihal Vihar Police Station received a call from a local hospital reporting that a woman had brought her husband, identified as Mohammad Shahid, in with multiple stab wounds. The man was declared dead on arrival.

When the police reached the hospital, the woman claimed her husband had stabbed himself to death. However, the post-mortem report revealed that the injuries could not have been self-inflicted, as the stab wounds were consistent with an attack from the front.

Following this, the police registered a murder case and intensified the probe.

During questioning and a forensic check of her mobile phone, investigators discovered the woman's internet search history, which included queries about "deleting chat histories, using poisonous substances like aluminium phosphide" (commonly known as 'salphos'), and its lethal effects.

Confronted with this evidence, the woman confessed to the crime. She told police that she was dissatisfied with her husband's physical relationship and decided to kill him. She allegedly stabbed Shahid three times in the chest and then took him to the hospital herself, fabricating a suicide story to mislead the police.

Police are now investigating who she was chatting with, which led her to look up ways to erase digital evidence. The murder weapon, a knife, has been recovered. The woman is currently in police custody as officials work to ascertain the complete motive behind the crime.
