Man kills wife for refusing to give him money
In Gurugram, 26-year-old radiology technician Arun Sharma allegedly murdered his wife, Kajal Sharma, 23, by injecting her with poison after she refused to give him money for drugs.
The couple, who met as hospital colleagues and married in November 2025, often argued about Arun's drug habit and financial demands.
Kajal had moved back to her parents' place but saw Arun during Holi earlier this month.
On March 18, he reportedly called her downstairs and injected her with an anesthetic; she collapsed and died soon after.
