A 35-year-old man was arrested for allegedly stabbing his 33-year-old wife to death at her rented house near Sahibabad on Wednesday evening, police said, adding that after the incident, he walked to the Tila Morh police station along with a knife to surrender.

The man suspected that his wife was in a relationship with another man, said officers.

Both the suspect and his wife are originally from Meerut. The suspect moved to Garima Garden, Ghaziabad about one-and-half months ago, while his wife moved to a nearby rented house in Shamshad Colony about 15 days ago, said police.

Officials from the Tila Morh police station said that both the areas are located close to each other, and the suspect saw his wife and her house a couple of days ago.
