A married woman and her partner were apprehended on Sunday for the brutal murder of her husband using a pair of scissors in Greater Noida a week ago. They were arrested near the ATS roundabout in Greater Noida, police officials said.

As per the report of the police, a pair of scissors, that was used for the murder, was recovered from their possession. "Pooja and Prahlad, both from the same village, had been involved in an extramarital relationship even before Pooja moved with her husband Mahesh to Bironda village for work," police said, news agency PTI reported.

Mahesh, who was looking for a job, had relocated his family to Bironda in Greater Noida and found work as a sanitation worker. During this period, Pooja invited Prahlad to Greater Noida under the guise of helping him find a job. Prahlad, who obtained a position as a security guard at NFL Society, began visiting Pooja regularly, the official said.

On the night of July 1, Prahlad visited Pooja at her home in the absence of Mahesh. However, Mahesh unexpectedly returned and discovered his wife with Prahlad in a compromising situation, the official also said.
