The police arrested the second wife and investigation into the matter is underway. Reports from the doctors have been sought and further sections will be added accordingly if needed, ASP said.
When asked about the reason, the officer said, "In the preliminary investigation, it came to light that the reason for the attack is probably jealousy and hatred though we are investigating the matter. The facts revealed in the probe will be produced before the court."
Additionally, ASP refuted the claim of stabbing 50 times which is widely being circulated over the social media.
"It has been running on social media that she was stabbed 50 times but this fact is incorrect. She has been attacked with the knife and we have some photos of the incident as well but the fact of stabbing 50 times is false," ASP Lal added.
