Bengaluru, July 3: A petty fight between a man and his wife escalated as the wife repeatedly stabbed her husband with a pair of scissors for refusing dinner prepared by his mother-in-law. The horrific incident took place around 11:30 pm on June 26 at Hosakerehalli in Banashankari 3rd Stage. Following the incident, the victim, Raj (name changed) lodged a complaint against his wife Rekha (name changed), based on which a case was registered.

According to a report of Times of India, Raj, who is from Tamil Nadu, and Rekha met each other through a common friend. They got married in 2021 after falling in love. On June 26, Raj said he dropped Rekha and their minor son after a park visit around 9 pm. He then went to a nearby bar-cum-restaurant where he had food and alcohol. When he return to his house, Rekha offered him food prepared by her mother. Raj said he declined to eat as he had food at the hotel. His refusal reportedly did not go well with Rekha. Haryana Shocker: Man Finds Wife in Another Man's Car in Panchkula, Attacks Her With Baseball Bat; Disturbing Video Surfaces.
