The victim, Pradeep (25), used to work with Singh's wife Pooja at a factory in Mundka and would often come to his house, especially in his absence, police said.

"This caused frequent arguments between Singh and his wife," a police officer said.

On Thursday evening, Singh left home saying he was going to Saifai in Uttar Pradesh to meet his sister whose husband had passed away. However, a few hours later, he returned and found Pradeep at his house.

The three had dinner together and slept in the same room. At around 5.30 am, Singh stabbed Pradeep in the abdomen with a kitchen knife and fled. Pooja took Pradeep to SGM Hospital but he succumbed to injury, Deputy Commissioner of Police (outer) Harendra Singh said.
