The police said Sunny, a resident of village Ghatewar in Baghpat district, was married to Shivani (27).

On Wednesday, a police team on night patrol stopped his car for routine check, only to notice a woman lying in an unconscious stage on the rear seat with a gunshot injury.

The police rushed the woman to the hospital and took Sunny and Anshu into custody.

The man told the police that he brought out his wife under the pretext of outing near the Upper Ganges Canal.

At about 9.30 p.m., he shot the wife on a service road. After that he looked for a place to dump her. But she did not die.

“The condition of the injured woman is stable and the man and his lover have been arrested,” said Senior Superintendent of Police Vaibhav Krishna.
