A woman living separately from her husband in Bengaluru's JP Nagar locality was subjected to a brutal attack involving sharp weapons and corrosive substances, police said on Monday. The alleged perpetrator had travelled more than 400 kilometres from Madurai in Tamil Nadu to carry out the assault.
According to preliminary reports, the accused husband attacked his estranged wife using a sharp-edged weapon before pouring what appeared to be an acid-like liquid on her. The incident marks an escalation in what police believe was an ongoing domestic dispute between the couple.
The woman sustained injuries in the attack and received medical attention at a local hospital. Bengaluru police have registered a case and launched investigations into the incident. The long-distance journey undertaken by the accused suggests premeditation, investigators indicated.
The case has drawn attention to the broader issue of domestic violence and the risks faced by women living separately from abusive partners. Authorities are working to apprehend the accused and have intensified efforts to ensure the victim's safety and access to support services.
