Pregnant Delhi Police commando beaten to death with dumbbell by husband over dowry

The victim, identified as Kajal, was reportedly regularly assaulted by her husband Ankur and his family over dowry demands and was four months pregnant at the time of her death.

A 27-year-old woman commando with the Delhi Police Special Cell’s SWAT team died on Tuesday after allegedly being brutally assaulted by her husband during a domestic dispute in Delhi. The accused reportedly struck her on the head with a dumbbell, causing fatal injuries.

The victim has been identified as Kajal, who, according to her family, was regularly assaulted by her husband, Ankur, and his family over dowry demands. The victim’s father also revealed that she was four months pregnant at the time of her death.

“My daughter was four months pregnant. Both the mother and the unborn child have died. Ankur has committed not one but two murders,” the victim’s father said.

Police said the incident occurred on the night of January 22 at around 10 pm, when Ankur allegedly launched a violent attack on Kajal in a fit of rage.

A forensic examination of their residence revealed bloodstains on the door frame and a dumbbell. Investigators suspect that Ankur repeatedly banged Kajal’s head against the door and struck her with the dumbbell, leading to severe head injuries.

After the assault, Kajal was initially admitted to Tarak Hospital in Mohan Garden, Delhi, in critical condition. She was later shifted to a private hospital in Ghaziabad, where she succumbed to her injuries on Tuesday, January 27.
