Accountant slits wife’s throat after Valentine’s Day dinner then fakes robbery story

A 27-year-old bank employee was found with her throat slit after a “robbery incident” but investigation has now led to the arrest of her husband a chartered accountant. Investigators said the accused k!lled his wife over repeated suspicions about her character and then attempted to pass it off as a robbery-cum-murdr. The victim, Mahak, worked with HDFC Bank in Gurgaon, India. She was married to Anshul Dhawan, a chartered accountant and resident of Hisars Sector 14, on September 25, 2025, in an arranged marriage. The couple had been married for barely five months.  On Valentines Day, February 14, 2026, the couple visited Hisar and stayed with family. The next evening, around 7 pm on February 15, they left Mahaks parental home in Hansi for Gurugram. About four hours later, Anshul called the police, claiming unidentified attackers had intercepted their car near Pahsaur village in the Badli area of Jhajjar district, k!lled his wife, and fled. Police found Mahaks body lying outside the car on a dirt track about 100 metres off the Jhajjar-Badli road. Her throat had been slit. However, Anshuls version soon fell apart during questioning. He failed to describe the alleged attackers and repeatedly changed his statement. During sustained interrogation and a crime scene reconstruction, Anshul confessed. Police said the couple frequently argued over his suspicions about Mahaks character. The dispute escalated during the drive, leading him to first str@ngle her and then sl!t her throat with a pair of scissors, allegedly while wearing gloves to avoid leaving evidence. He later staged the scene to resemble a robbery. Mahaks father, Krishna Kathuria, had expressed suspicion against his son-in-law from the outset. Family members also stated that Mahak was pregnant at the time of her de@th. Police have arrested the accused and are proceeding with further investigation.The post Accountant slits wife’s throat after Valentine’s Day dinner then fakes robbery story appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
