Woman stabs sleeping husband for not getting wedding anniversary gift
For representative use.
A Bengaluru woman is under investigation for attempted murder after allegedly stabbing her husband in a domestic dispute sparked by a missed anniversary gift.
The incident, which occurred in Bengaluru's tech corridor, where 37-year-old Kiran, a private firm employee, sustained injuries after his wife, 35-year-old Sandhya, allegedly stabbed him while he slept, provoked by not receiving a wedding anniversary gift.
Reports from the police indicate that the altercation unfolded in the early hours of February 27 when Sandhya, disappointed over not receiving an anniversary gift, resorted to violence, stabbing Kiran with a kitchen knife while he slept.
The attack was said to be fuelled by Sandhya's frustration, compounded by Kiran's inability to provide a gift due to his grandfather's recent passing away. Despite sustaining injuries to his hand, Kiran managed to defend himself and seek medical help with the assistance of neighbours, prompting police intervention.
The Bellandur police formally filed charges against Sandhya on March 1, following a medico-legal report from the hospital. While the authorities acknowledge the familial nature of the incident, they underscore the severity of the allegations, prompting a comprehensive investigation.
