Mumbai: A horrific incident that has shocked the local community came to light within the jurisdiction of the Aarey Police Station. Suspecting his wife of having an illicit affair, a man allegedly invited her supposed lover to his house, made him consume alcohol, and later slit his throat in front of his wife.
