NEW DELHI: After being sacked by her employer with whom she had an affair, a 26-year-old stockbroker?s assistant stabbed his son to death at west Delhi?s Mianwali. Then she attacked his wife and finally attempted to commit suicide with the same knife. Following medical intervention that saved her life, Asha was arrested on Friday. A probe revealed she was fired from her job after the victim, Varun Gupta, began planning to take over his father Sushil?s business.

Asha, a resident of Nihal Vihar, had been a computer operator at Sushil Gupta?s share trading office for three years. On September 2, she arrived at the Guptas? Ambica Vihar residence around 10.30pm, police said. Gupta was not at home but his wife Anita, son Varun and daughter Swati were present. Asha often came to Gupta?s house, so no one thought anything was amiss.

Anita told police she was in the kitchen and Swati in her room when she heard Varun?s screams from the drawing room. She rushed there to see him lying on the couch bleeding profusely. Asha was standing at the back of the couch with a blood-stained knife in her hand, she said.

Anita told police that in the minutes that followed Asha even tried to stab her but was overpowered by her with Swati?s help. Asha then stabbed herself. Anita escaped with minor injuries. She said she called up Asha?s father who took her to DDU Hospital. The Guptas took Varun to Global Bhatia Hospital with critical injuries to his stomach. Varun succumbed to his wounds and police registered a case of murder on basis of Anita?s complaint.

Investigations revealed Asha had an affair with Sushil Gupta and was sacked when Sushil gradually shifted his capital from shares trading to real estate business which his son took over. Both Anita and Varun were probably aware of Sushil?s affair. During interrogation, Asha reportedly told police that she held Varun responsible for losing her job and had planned to murder the Gupta family in revenge. ?Asha was arrested for murder and remanded in judicial custody,? DCP (West) Ranvir Singh said.
