Delhi man who stabbed wife 35 times says ‘racked with guilt’, did not attack son

The 43-year-old catering manager Vinod Bisht, who allegedly murdered his wife by brutally stabbing her over 35 times, was arrested some distance away from his Dilshad Garden home in Delhi almost 15 hours after the gruesome crime.
The police have recovered the crime weapon – a knife – which they claim Bisht had stolen from a banquet hall where he worked. The police claim that after the crime Bisht was all set to flee the city, but, after spending an entire day at a public park in Ghaziabad, he was ‘racked with guilt’ and decided to return home.
“Bisht was worried about his injured son because he had seen him bleeding when he left the house,” a senior investigator said. During his interrogation, Bisht claimed that he did not deliberately harm his son who was “accidentally injured” in the scuffle.
“On his way to Ghazipur, Bisht changed his clothes that were soaked in blood. He dumped the clothes at an isolated place on Delhi-Uttar Pradesh border near Kaushambi and went to his friend’s home and from there again to Kaushambi,” said Nupur Prasad, deputy commissioner of police (Shahdara).
According to police, Bisht boarded a state roadways bus from Kaushambi and reached Ghaziabad where he spend the entire day in a public park. Bisht told police that he dumped the knife in the park and decided to return to Delhi. He was barely 200 metres away from his home when a policeman spotted him and alerted others. They caught him and brought to the police station. His blood-soaked clothes and the knife were also recovered.
