However, soon after the relative was facing constant pressure from the woman's in-laws and other family members to stop letting her stay there. On March 7, the relative “handed her over” to her in-laws, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Santosh Kumar Singh said.
Soon after it was also decided the uncle-niece duo should end their affair and to ensure that Vineet was sent to live with his sister in Meerut, SSP Singh said.
However, on Monday, Vineet showed up at the house of his niece’s in-laws and stabbed her multiple times, accusing her of cheating on him, police said.
She was taken to a hospital, but died during treatment, SSP Singh further added.
