Woman stabs husband on chest after dispute over 'roti'
In another incident, a woman attacked her husband with a knife after a dispute of cooking food turned ugly in Uttar Pradesh's Ballia district. As per the police, the incident took place on August 19 in the Mahavir Akhara locality under the Rasra police station limits. DSP Alok Gupta said that the incident occurred when Sanjay Kumar (28) got into a heated argument with his wife Lalbuchi Devi over a minor household issue.
According to police, there was no flour at home, so the woman cooked 'khichdi' for her husband and three children. However, after coming home, Sanjay insisted that she make 'rotis', which she refused. During the heated argument that followed, Lalbuchi Devi in a fit of rage grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed her husband on the chest, the DSP said.
