A 32-year-old man living in a live-in relationship was allegedly stabbed to death by his partner in the Salarjung area under the BBD police station in Lucknow, authorities reported on Tuesday.
According to police, the deceased, identified as Surya Pratap Singh, had been living with a woman, Ratna Devi, for nearly a decade. Singh’s two minor daughters also resided with the couple. Ratna Devi, a widow, had reportedly been living with him for several years.
