As a consequence the defendant took a knife from his wife, who was cooking at the time and slashed her neck leaving her unconscious. The complainant later received medical attention and stitches to the injury she sustained.
While Kumar accepted what the police reports stated he claimed that the incident was “just an accident.”
He related that his spouse had been striking him in the back when “she slipped and fell on the knife” causing injuries.
“Is just a slight cut my worship”.
The Magistrate requested a copy of the medical to ascertain if the defendant’s story was correct.
