Navi Mumbai: Daljit Kaur, 38, who had allegedly given 'supari' (contract to kill) to two of her relatives to kill her husband, had promised ₹20 lakh cash and jobs in the transport business for killing her husband, according to police sources from Unit Two of Crime Branch. Kaur's relationship with her husband had soured over financial issues among a host of other issues.
Jaspal Singh Khoya, 48, a transport businessman and resident of Sainagar Society in sector 4 in Kalamboli, was found murdered at a garden in sector 6 on the morning of May 8.

The very next day, police arrested his wife Daljit for conspiring to kill her husband and giving a contract.
