Major Handa met Shailja about three years ago in Nagaland where he was working with her husband. She moved to Delhi after Major Dwivedi's transfer.
The two had an argument yesterday following which he allegedly slit her throat. He then ran a car over her face and the body in order to make the incident appear as an accident, police said.
"During an argument on Saturday near Brar Square, he attacked the woman with a knife, threw her out of the car and ran over her," Kumar said.
The woman was dropped at Army base hospital in her husband's official vehicle by a driver, they said. Later, when he came back to pick her up, he could not find her and learnt that she did not attend her scheduled physiotherapy session, the police said.
