BHOPAL: A 61-year-old man was allegedly brutally attacked by his wife in Vishwakarma Nagar in Nishatpura on Wednesday morning. The woman reportedly bit her husband in about a dozen places, scratched him severely with her nails, and hurled acid (toilet cleaner) on him during the altercation.
While the acid did not touch his body, it damaged his clothes. Nishatpura police registered a case against the accused wife on charges of assault & attempted acid attack, & she was arrested.
Investigation officer SI Shrikant Dwivedi said that the complainant, Narayan Lodhi, 61, a truck driver residing in Vishwakarma Nagar, was living with his second wife, 45-year-old Durga Lodhi. Durga has two daughters, aged 12 and 14, from her previous marriage. Narayan, due to his profession, usually visits home once or twice a week.
SI Dwivedi said that on Wednesday morning, around 10 am, Narayan returned home with essential supplies, but a dispute erupted with his wife over missing items. The argument escalated, and Durga physically attacked him, biting him in multiple places and scratching him badly. Narayan tried to escape, but Durga threw acid at him. Fortunately, it hit his clothes, which were slightly burned.
SI Dwivedi said that Narayan lodged a formal complaint with the police, stating that Durga is addicted to alcohol and has attacked him several times before. The police previously intervened and counselled the couple, but her behaviour did not improve. The police is investigating further.
