A 24-year-old SWAT commando of the Delhi Police died after allegedly being assaulted by her husband, who struck her on the head with a heavy dumbbell following a dispute over financial issues.

The victim, Kajal Chaudhary, was attacked by her husband Ankur, a clerk with the Ministry of Defence, on January 22 after frequent arguments escalated into violence, according to a report by The Times of India. She sustained critical head injuries and was rushed to hospital, where she succumbed during treatment on Tuesday.

Victims Had Called Her Brother

Kajal’s brother Nikhil, a constable posted at the Parliament Street police station, told TOI that she had called him moments before the assault. While he was still on the call, he allegedly heard Ankur hitting her with the dumbbell. A few minutes later, Ankur reportedly informed him that she had been assaulted.

Police have registered a murder case against Ankur, who has been arrested and remanded to judicial custody.
