Her partner, Thangjam Viney Meitei, is undergoing treatment at AIIMS Trauma Centre. Both were originally from Manipur and were living together in a rented flat in Munirka for the past three years. A PCR call about a domestic dispute was received on Sunday. Police found the main door locked from inside. tnnWoman, her partner found lying unconscious on bathroom floor After repeated attempts to get a response went unanswered, officers forced their way in. Inside, they discovered the bathroom door also bolted. When police arrived at the scene, they found both Khongsai and Meitei were found lying unconscious on the bathroom floor with deep wounds. “The woman had a severe cut on the back of her neck, leading to blood loss. The man also sustained a similar injury,” a senior officer said. Both were rushed to the hospital, where Khongsai was declared brought dead. Meitei is still receiving medical care. He runs a grocery store.Investigations suggest frequent arguments between the two, mainly over financial matters. “Neighbours assumed they were married. It appears money-related stress often led to intense disputes,” the officer said.On the day of the incident, the couple reportedly had another altercation. During the argument, Khongsai called her father to inform him of the situation. Alarmed, he contacted their landlady, who then asked her daughter to alert the police. Upon entering the house, officers found blood pool in the bathroom and a knife on the floor, suspected to have been used in the attack.
