Gurugram scrap dealer was stabbed to death by his live-in partner because of his contact with his wife and children.
A 40-year-old scrap dealer was killed by his live-in partner in Gurugram’s DLF Phase 3 area. The murder followed a heated argument about his ongoing communication with his sick wife and young daughters. This shocking incident has left the local community in shock and raised concerns about increasing domestic conflicts in live-in relationships.
The victim, Harish Sharma, had been living with his 27-year-old partner, Yashmeet Kaur, in a rented apartment for over a year. Despite their relationship, Harish regularly spoke to his wife and occasionally visited his family, which reportedly created ongoing tension between them.
According to the police, the murder happened early on Saturday. Yashmeet allegedly found Harish on a phone call with his wife, leading to a violent confrontation. In a rage, she grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed him in the chest. Harish was taken to the hospital but died from his injuries before help could save him.
Neighbors called the police after they heard the noise. When they arrived, they arrested Yashmeet and found the murder weapon and a blood-stained T-shirt. During questioning, Yashmeet admitted to the crime, expressing feelings of betrayal and anger over Harish’s frequent contact with his wife.
In a surprising turn, another man named Vijay, a 47-year-old friend of Harish, was also arrested. He had been with Harish earlier that evening when he withdrew ₹7 lakh in cash. Police are now investigating whether the murder was spontaneous or planned, and financial motives are part of the inquiry.
Harish’s family claims that both accused were involved in a conspiracy and has called for a thorough investigation. The case has been registered as a murder, and both suspects are in police custody.
This incident has once again highlighted the unstable dynamics of live-in relationships, especially when emotional issues from past marriages or families come into play. Investigations continue, and authorities await forensic reports for more clarity.
