Suspecting her of infidelity, he confronted her, leading to a heated exchange. The family had dinner together, after which the accused objected to a phone call. During the altercation, the couple assaulted each other before the argument turned fatal.
Investigators said that Narender, in a fit of rage, used a dupatta to strangle Kajal. The assault took place while the couple’s children were asleep in the house.
