Thane, August 7: In a shocking incident of domestic violence from Maharashtra, a doctor has been booked for throwing hot tea at his wife. According to a PTI report, the couple was reportedly having a fight, when the man allegedly lost his cool and threw the tea on his wife, who is gynaecologist with BMC Hospital. The woman suffered burn injuries on her chest, and her groin area, following which she filed a police complaint.
