An argument erupted and escalated quickly. Jyoti, who was agitated, allegedly slapped Ketan. The 32-year-old said he lost his temper, and punched and strangled Jyoti with her dupatta.
He then put Jyoti's body on their bed in the first-floor house and went to the Anand Garden police post to surrender.
A constable at the post informed officers at the Rajendra Park station, and a team was sent to the house.
"When we arrived, the woman was lying unconscious in her room. The man was taken into custody. He told us that his wife was beating their elder daughter, and when he stopped her, she slapped him. He lost his temper, punched her, and strangled her," an investigator said.

The couple, police said, had a love marriage six years ago. They have two daughters, aged 5 and 3.
Ketan's father Vinod Pathak and ailing mother lived on the ground floor of the same house with his elder brother's family. Vinod Pathak is an ayurvedic medicine practitioner and runs a clinic on the ground floor.
At the time of the incident, Vinod was in the house and Ketan's brother Pankaj was out for work.
A neighbour told TOI on Monday that Ketan and Jyoti used to fight frequently.
"We could often hear the two of them shouting at each other. They got married after rebelling against their families' wishes. The family kept to themselves. We got to know about the crime only after cops came to check the house," the neighbour said.
A relative said the family was from Amritsar and had moved to Gurgaon four decades ago.
Police said a forensics team inspected the house and sealed the site of the murder.
"Jyoti's parents died a few years ago, so no one has filed a formal complaint till now. We are waiting for statements from some other relatives, otherwise we will proceed as per the law. The murder suspect is in custody," a police officer said.
The post-mortem examination will be carried out, the officer added.

Tribunal begins hearing cases against Hasina
Dhaka: The Bangladesh International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) on Sunday started trial in cases of "crimes against humanity" against former PM Sheikh Hasina , with the attorney general calling for maximum punishment for the Awami League leader who is being tried in absentia. Hasina is being tried along with former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal and former police IG Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun in the cases, which include killings, murder and torture during the "July mass uprising" that led to her ouster in Aug last year. "We have taken an oath on the blood of Mugdho and Abu Sayeed (both student leaders)," attorney general Md Asaduzzaman said in the ICT before the submission of opening statement in the cases against the three accused. "People want justice - justice through the legal framework-for the crimes committed," he said. Mugdho was allegedly killed by security forces in Dhaka and Sayeed in Rangpur during the uprising. He said Hasina - who fled to India following her govt's fall in Aug last year - could be likened to the head of an "association of autocrats". "If Goebbels wanted to study lies or complete a PhD in falsehood, Hasina could have been his teacher," he said, referring to Nazi party chief propagandist Paul Joseph Goebbels. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Karang Anyar: New Container Houses – Take A Look At The Prices!

ICT's chief prosecutor Muhammad Tajul Islam claimed in his opening statement that Hasina was the central figure in the alleged crimes against humanity during the "July mass uprising". "As PM, leader of the Awami League, and head of the ruling 14-party alliance, she held absolute power," Tajul said. "All major decisions were taken by her. She was the nucleus of the crimes committed during that period." Tajul argued that the crimes were aimed solely at preserving Hasina's grip on power. "The other accused were fully aware that their own survival and rewards were contingent on Hasina remaining in control," he said.

Banswara MP accuses BJP of disrupting rally in Jhalawar
1 2 Jaipur: Banswara MP Rajkumar Roat Sunday accused the BJP of orchestrating a disruption during a Bhil community rally in Jhalawar which turned chaotic after a faction protested his presence. The rally, held in Khandia area Sunday, was organised as a pre-event to mark World Tribal Day, officially observed on Aug 9. Roat in a post on X said that BJP and ABVP leaders arrived at the venue carrying saffron flags and launched a targeted provocation. "They didn't come to participate; they came to create chaos. BJP and ABVP leaders, wielding saffron flags, attacked us while we were raising our voices for justice for the students who died in the Jhalawar school tragedy," Roat alleged. He further stated, "BJP leaders do not want to give justice to the students who lost their lives, but they are ready to resort to hooliganism dressed in saffron against those who demand accountability." The disturbance began when a group of Bhil leaders, objecting to Roat's political messaging, approached the stage and raised slogans demanding that he stop promoting the BAP (Bharat Adivasi Party) ideology at the community event. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Are The Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo Both groups clashed with each other, following which the police swung into action and resorted to a lathicharge to disperse the crowd. In response, Roat attempted to calm the crowd, saying, "Let's sit down and talk." However, the protesters refused to engage, prompting police intervention to remove them from the immediate vicinity of the stage. The situation quickly escalated when police mistakenly tried to detain Arvind, a supporter of the protest group. As officers attempted to escort him away, his associates intervened, pulling him back and engaging in a brief scuffle with the police. The confrontation intensified when members of the crowd began pelting stones at the police, forcing authorities to use mild force to disperse the protesters and restore order. Roat later blamed BJP for instigating the protest. "Those behind this disruption are connected to the BJP organisation," he said, accusing the opposition party of exploiting internal divisions within the tribal community for political gain. He also said Rajasthan govt's recently announced Rs 10 lakh compensation for tribal families was a symbolic gesture lacking real commitment.
