A woman allegedly bit off her husband's right ear in a fit of rage in Delhi's Sultanpuri during a fight. An FIR has been lodged in the matter
A woman in Delhi's Sultanpuri area allegedly bit off her husband's right ear in a fit of rage due to which the 45-year-old victim had to undergo surgery. Police officials told news agency PTI that the husband filed an FIR after the surgery under Section 324 (voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). A probe has been launched into the matter.
The husband told police, "I went to throw garbage outside my house around 9.20 am on November 20. I asked my wife to clean the house. Soon after I returned home, my wife started fighting with me over an unknown issue," as reported by PTI.
He further said that his wife asked him to sell the house and give her a share so that she would be able to stay separately with the children. He added, "I tried to make her understand, but a verbal spat ensued. She even tried to hit me, but I pushed her away. I was walking out of the house when she held me from the back and in a fit of rage bit my right ear so hard that the upper portion of my ear got dismembered. My son took me to Sanjay Gandhi Hospital in Mangolpuri for treatment."
Police officials told PTI that they received the information about the attack on November 20 from a hospital and a team was sent to probe into the matter.
PTI quoted a senior official of the Delhi police as saying, "The victim was unwell and not in a condition to give his statement. He had requested the police that he would come to the police station to give his statement. On November 22, he approached the police and gave a written complaint. We have registered an FIR into the matter and further investigation is in progress."
