Months after Gupta married the woman, 35, she refused to take care of Amit. Gupta later decided to get divorced but his wife demanded Rs 1 crore as alimony. This prompted him to hatch her murder.
On Wednesday, around 2.30 PM, the Delhi Police received information about a murder in Rajouri Garden area. On reaching the spot, the police found the woman's body with multiple stab wounds.
During the investigation, it was revealed that SK Gupta wanted to get rid of his wife at any cost when she demanded money to separate.
According to police, Gupta came in contact with accused Vipin who used to take his son Amit to hospital. He along with his son hatched a conspiracy with Vipin to kill his wife. He promised to give Vipin Rs 10 lakh to murder her and even paid Rs 2.40 lakh as an advance, news agency PTI quoted a senior police official, as saying.
