Delhi, July 23: On Tuesday, July 22, the Delhi police arrested a 29-year-old woman for allegedly killing her husband in the national capital over intimacy issues.

The deceased man was later identified as Mohammed Shahid alias Irfan (32).

According to a report in the Hindustan Times, the police exposed the murder plot when they confronted the accused woman, Farzana Khan, with the suspicious internet search history on her phone.
