The wife of a local AAP leader was killed by robbers near a village here, police said on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The incident took place on Saturday night near Rurka village, around 40 km from here, they said.<\/p>\n

AAP leader Anokh Mittal and his wife Lipsy Mittal were returning home after having dinner at a hotel on the Ludhiana-Malerkotla road, said police.<\/p>\n

The robbers intercepted their car and attacked the couple with sharp-edged weapons.<\/p>\n

Lipsy Mittal, 33, died on the spot while her husband, who is a local trader, received serious injuries and was admitted to a private hospital, they said.<\/p>\n
