Baghpat, Dec 28 (IANS): A woman allegedly stabbed her husband in the eye with scissors after he asked for a cup of tea at Baghpat in Uttar Pradesh.

The woman then fled the scene to evade arrest, leaving behind her bleeding husband.

According to reports, Ankit, the victim, got married three years ago. However, after some time, the couple started having frequent fights over domestic issues. Ankit's wife had even filed a complaint of assault against him and his family members just three days prior to the incident, the police said.
