KORBA: A woman was booked in Kusmunda area of Korba on February 5 for allegedly attacking her husband's genitals with a sharp weapon and injuring him, suspecting infidelity.

The woman identified as Suklata is Suresh's second wife and was booked under two sections of IPC, when the neighbours admitted her husband Suresh Uranv to the hospital and reported the incident to the police. The incident took place when Suresh returned home late and Suklata indulged in a quarrel with him, suspecting that he had an extra marital affair. When the argument heated up, she allegedly attacked on his private parts with a sharp weapon. Listening to Suresh scream, their neighbours came running to his rescue and admitted him to the hospital.

Though police denies any direct attack on the man's genitals, talking to TOI, Manjulata, town inspector, Kusmunda, said that Suklata had admitted that it was an accident and that Suresh got injured at the wrong place when the quarrel ensued. She was released after being interrogated.

"Doctor's report also says that he was injured with a weapon but it wasn't a grievous injury. He is hurt but is safe and is still in the hospital," the inspector said.

Suresh, who is a truck driver, reportedly said that Suklata deliberately attacked him while Sukhlata defended saying that he doesn't remember the incident properly as he was drunk.
