A man allegedly strangled his wife after she slapped him during a domestic row in the Rajendra Park area, police on Monday said.
After killing her, the husband surrendered at the local police station.
Police said Ketan, a resident of B-block of Rajendra Park colony, works at Jewar Airport in the cargo department. His wife was identified as Jyoti.
Ketan had married Jyoti Ketan six years ago after courtship. They have two children.
On Sunday, around 6 pm, Ketan surrendered at Anand Garden police chowki, saying he had killed his wife.
Police took Jyoti's body into custody from the couple's home.
As of no one from Jyoti's family has filed a complaint against Ketan, police said.
An investigating officer said that during interrogation, Ketan claimed that Jyoti was beating their daughter over some issue and when he objected, she slapped him.
