A woman allegedly stabbed her husband in the eye with a pair of scissors when he asked her for her mobile phone to listen to songs on a social media platform, PTI reported.

Following the incident in a housing development colony under Baraut police station in UP’s Bagpat, the victim Ankit filed a complaint against his wife Priyanka, informed Circle Officer (CO) Saviratna Gautam.

Based on his complaint, police have registered a case against Priyanka and an investigation has been started. Necessary action will be taken once the probe is completed.

According to Gautam, Ankit had asked Priyanka for her mobile phone to hear songs on YouTube. She refused to give her mobile and told Ankit to use his own phone.

An argument ensued between the husband and wife, after which Priyanka allegedly attacked Ankit in the eye.

Ankit has been admitted to a nearby community health centre where he is undergoing treatment.

The incident took place in Nawada Khurd village, in Uttar Pradesh’s Hapur.

The woman’s mother and brother took her to a nearby forest, where they sprinkled petrol on her and tried to burn her alive on Thursday.

The victim suffered 70 per cent burn injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital.

Though she survived the ghastly attack, the woman is in critical condition and has been referred to another hospital for further treatment.

Her mother and brother have been arrested.

According to police, the woman was in a relationship with a man from the same village. The news of the pregnancy infuriated her family.

Senior police officer Rajkumar Aggarwal informed that a case of attempted murder has been lodged against the girl’s mother and brother. An investigation is underway.
