The woman, however, was released by a court after police said that they did not find sufficient evidence against her, officers added.

The victim, an NDMC class 4 employee, was rushed to Lok Nayak Hospital on the night of July 6 by his wife and a neighbour. The woman allegedly told doctors that he had died by suicide. The man lived with his wife and four children — three daughters aged 21, 19 and 17, and an 8-year-old son.
