NEW DELHI: A dramatic confrontation unfolded in Gurgaon Basai Enclave when a man allegedly caught his wife with her lover, who then attacked him with the butt of a pistol and issued a chilling threat, police said on Tuesday.
According to police, the accused also warned the husband of facing a fate similar to the recent Meerut horror, in which a woman and her paramour killed her husband, chopped up the body and dumped it in a cement-filled drum, news agency PTI reported.
The accused duo fled the scene after neighbours intervened.
The victim, Mausam, a cab driver from Kharman village in Haryana’s Jhajjar, filed a complaint with police, stating that he had married the woman two years ago, despite his family’s disapproval.
