He threw the  woman&#8217;s body from the balcony on second floor to give it the appearance  of a suicide, but after a while, surrendered before the cops. This is  the second such incident in a week.<\/p>\n<p> The accused, Ajeet Kumar,  stayed with his wife and daughter in Block B, lane number 5 of Kewal  Park in Adarsh Nagar. Police said he worked at a restaurant in Noida. He  married Shalini (28) in 2010; the couple had their first child,  Vanshika, in 2011.<\/p>\n<p> Residents said they heard the couple  fighting loudly around 10.45pm on Saturday and Ajeet seemed to have  beaten her into silence. About 15 minutes later, Ajeet was seen throwing  Shalini&#8217;s body from his balcony. The locals rushed to stop him but he  had already let it fall. Before long he came downstairs with the  lifeless body of his daughter and sat beside his wife&#8217;s body lying in a  pool of blood.<\/p>\n<p>The neighbours questioned him but he stayed mum, and after a few  minutes, called up the cops himself and confessed to the murders. Police  soon arrived, took over the bodies and arrested him. Police said Ajeet  claimed to have acted in rage. He had been having a dispute with his  wife for the past few months.<\/p>\n<p> He admitted to have strangled his  wife after a fight on Saturday. He also killed his daughter as he felt  there would be no one to look after her. Police sent the bodies for  postmortem and handed them over to the woman&#8217;s family members on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p> Police said the couple&#8217;s relations were strained and they had decided  to live separately since last year, when Shalini went back to her  parental home in Dwarka. Two months later she returned to her in-laws to  reconcile differences but it didn&#8217;t help.<\/p>\n<p> Shalini&#8217;s father,  Mahesh Kumar, a former employee of Indian Airlines, said Ajeet and his  family had been harassing Shalini since their marriage. He added that  the family had even registered a case of dowry demands under Section  498A of  IPC at the  Palam police station. Earlier this year Ajeet filed  for a divorce but the families decided to give them time to smooth out  troubles.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;My daughter called me up on Saturday morning saying  that Ajeet was harassing her mentally for Rs 2.5 lakh. I asked her to  come back home but she said she would handle the situation and asked me  not to worry,&#8221; said Mahesh Kumar. Police said they have filed a case and  are probed the allegations made by the woman&#8217;s father. Ajeet&#8217;s mother  and brother, who stay in Mukundpur, have been detained.<\/p>\n<p><b>Fact <\/b>&#8211; Wife filed DV&nbsp;+ 498a just for 2.5 Lacks. What a joke on relationship. I can understand the pain of guy who was living under lots of stress with her wife. The relationship was already dead after DV and 498a but both were suffering from this dead relationship. <\/p>\n<p><\/div>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.wakilsahab.in\/news\/man-kills-wife-and-child-in-a-fit-of-rage-surrenders\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"5\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;NEW DELHI: A 32-year-old man strangled his wife and little daughter at Adarsh Nagar in northwest Delhi on Saturday, police said.
