“The accused told the police during questioning that her husband was having extra marital affair. She told us that even after repeated requests to cut off his ties with other women he did not mend his ways which made her furious and led to the incident,” added police.
Singh was rushed for medical attention by his family members after he cried for help.
A complaint against Kaur was lodged at the local police station by Singh’s father. FIR has been registered under relevant IPC sections.
