Gurgaon: The Gurgaon police on Monday arrested a woman on charges of getting murdered her husband through contract killers for a sum of Rs 16 lakh. Gurgaon police spokesperson Subhash Bokan said the accused woman, Sweety, got her husband killed as she suspected him to be having an extra-marital affair and feared that he would transfer his entire property, including a shop and a house in Sheetla Colony in Gurgaon to another woman.

Bokan said Sweety's husband Joginder Singh had gone missing from his residence on January 17. The police, however, found Sunday a body stuffed inside a gunny bag, thrown into a drain at Bajghera near Dwarka expressway here, said Bokan. A motorcycle too was found near the drain, he added. The body was identified as that of Singh, following which the police began questioning his wife and other relatives and neighbours, he said.
