Eight years ago, Ruby had got married to Rafique in Gopalganj, Bihar. But the two later split, and she had a love marriage with Raju after which both of them relocated to Noida and were living in a rented accommodation in Harola village in Sector 5, police said.

The police said that the couple was having a troubled relationship for some time now and Raju was not living at their home since last 12 days.
He returned home this afternoon and told his wife and mother-in-law that he was leaving for Mumbai along with their three-year-old son.
Later in the afternoon, Raju confronted Ruby on a road in Sector 5 and stabbed her in front of his mother-in-law and child. The mother-in-law alerted the police and Ruby was rushed to the district hospital, where she succumbed to the wounds, the FIR stated.
