One such shocking incident was reported last year as well in Ahmedabad. A Sardarnagar resident allegedly bit off his wife’s finger during a domestic dispute after accusing her of having an affair. The 40-year-old victim had filed a complaint with the Airport police against her husband. The couple are native of Rajasthan. In her complaint, the woman said her husband often beat her over trivial issues and always suspected her of having an affair.
She said that she was speaking to a woman in the neighbourhood when her husband reached home at around 10 PM on Saturday. During the fight, the husband started beating her and when she tried to resist and held his hand, he bit off her little finger on the left hand. She rushed out of her house screaming for help and a relative called a 108 ambulance and rushed her to the Civil Hospital in Asarwa.
