Delhi, September 9: A woman in Noida has been arrested for allegedly conspiring to kill her daughter-in-law due to her dissatisfaction with her son's marriage. The police have successfully nabbed all three accused involved in the case, which includes the victim's mother-in-law and the two men hired to carry out the alleged crime.

According to the media reports, earlier this week, on September 5, a tragic incident unfolded when two men forcibly entered the residence of a 27-year-old woman named Soni and fatally shot her. Soni, originally hailing from Bihar, had been residing in Noida's Badalpur area with her husband. Her decision to remarry after her first marriage had been a cause of tension within the family, the report said. Maharashtra Shocker: Wife Hires Contract Killer To Kill Alcoholic Husband, Makes It Appear Like Suicide in Akola, Arrested.

Geeta Devi, the mother-in-law of Soni, was unhappy with her son's marriage to Soni. She alleged that her son had been neglecting the family and had ceased providing financial support after his second marriage. Following this, she hired two contract killers and paid them Rs 1 lakh to carry out the attack on her daughter-in-law.

In the course of their investigation, police obtained CCTV camera footage from the vicinity of Soni's residence, which revealed images of the two assailants.
