Dass’ body was found at Mata Chowk, Kamruddeen Nagar on November 22 with multiple stab wounds on chest, jaw, cheek besides his throat was also slit with a sharp weapon.
Dass was working as a supervisor in a shoe manufacturing unit at Kamruddeen Nagar.
Investigation revealed that Dass often used to visit a woman working under his supervision during the absence of her husband. Police said the woman’s husband had expressed his resentment regarding the relationship.
Despite her husband’s warning, Dass continued visiting his lover’s house, police said.
Police said, Pappu one day inserted a memory chip in his wife’s mobile phone without her knowledge to catch them red-handed, and started listening to the conversation by taking out the chip during late hours.

On November 11 evening, when Pappu returned from work he found Dass in his house.
Both of them went to consume liquor together at Sukhi Nehar, Kamrudeen Nagar where Pappu attacked Dass with a knife which he had hidden in his pocket after telling him that he knew about the illicit relationship.
Dass tried to run away sensing danger but was attacked by the accused who took pictures of the body in a pool of blood to show his wife, police said.
