Delhi: Man kills ex-girlfriend, her husband in 'crime of passion'
In Delhi's Nabi Karim, a tragic love triangle led to two deaths on Saturday night.
Aashu (34) allegedly attacked his ex-partner Shalini (22) and her husband Aakash while they were traveling after they had gone to meet Shalini's mother.
Aashu stabbed at Aakash first; when he dodged, Shalini was repeatedly stabbed.
Despite being hurt himself, Aakash managed to grab the knife and fatally stab Aashu.
Both Shalini and Aashu were declared dead on arrival at the hospital.
Both men had criminal backgrounds; investigation underway
Police are calling this a "crime of passion," sparked by Shalini leaving Aashu for Aakash—while Aashu believed he was the father of her unborn child.
An FIR has been registered based on Shalini's mother's complaint, and both men had criminal backgrounds; police described Aashu as a "bad character."
Investigators are piecing together what happened, and police are expected to question Aakash once he recovers from his injuries.
