New Delhi: Delhi Police on Sunday arrested an Army Major for his alleged role in the murder of his colleague’s wife, whose body was found with her throat slit on a road in Delhi Cantonment.

Major Nikhil Handa was arrested from Meerut in Uttar Pradesh for allegedly killing Shailaja Dwivedi, wife of another Major. “He is now being brought to Delhi,” a police official was quoted as saying by IANS.
