A 25-year-old man was arrested for attacking his 22-year-old wife with a sharp-edge weapon over suspicion of infidelity in Madhya Pradesh's Shivpuri district, a police officer said on Thursday.
The incident took place in the Pohri area in the district on Wednesday, in which the victim sustained multiple injuries on her body along with severely injured eyes. "My husband has beaten me by making false allegations. He also attacked my eyes with a sharp-edged weapon," the injured woman said. Currently, the victim is undergoing treatment at the district hospital. Doctors performed her eye surgery on Thursday morning and said that she would get her vision back. After committing the crime, the accused fled from the spot. Subsequently, the police launched a manhunt and nabbed him on Thursday. Sub-Divisional Officer of Police (SDOP, Pohri) Sujeet Singh Bhadoria said, "Police found a severely injured woman at Pohri police station on Wednesday evening whom they admitted to the district hospital and based on the statement of the victim, an FIR was registered against her husband. In the preliminary investigation, it came to light that the woman's husband, Chhotu Khan, had attacked her eyes and various places on her body with a sharp-edged weapon, doubting her character.
