Jamnagar, October 6: In a horrifying incident in Mandasan village, Jamjodhpur taluka, a woman was brutally attacked by her estranged husband, resulting in severe injuries. Ramila Makwana, a 35-year-old Anganwadi worker, was assaulted with a sword, leading to the severing of her thumb and two fingers. The attack occurred on Friday, Ocotber 4, after Ramila filed a suit for alimony against her husband, Vipul Makwana, with whom she has been separated for the past 10 months. The confrontation escalated after Vipul questioned her about her work at the Anganwadi and a hospital.

The incident unfolded when Ramila arrived at her Anganwadi centre as she usually does. According to a report by the Times of India, Vipul confronted her about her dual employment at the Anganwadi and a nearby hospital, which seemed to ignite a simmering tension between the couple. What started as a verbal altercation quickly escalated into a life-threatening situation as Vipul's anger boiled over. Gujarat Shocker: 3-Day-Old Girl Survives Honour Killing After Grandparents Bury Her Alive To Hide Daughter’s Premarital Pregnancy in Surendranagar, 3 Arrested.
