A 40-year-old man was held here on Friday after he killed his wife's lover, a few days after she abandoned him, police said.
"We were informed that a scuffle between two men led to the murder of one," the police officer said.
The accused's wife had a relationship with Mohan, a tailor.
About five days ago, she left her husband's home, along with their kids, to live with Mohan.
"Her husband, Amarnath went there and got into a scuffle with Mohan last (Thursday) night.
"He hit his head against a slab," the officer said, adding he was taken to a hospital, where he was declared brought dead.
Amarnath and his wife have been married for the last 16 years. They have five children.
