Rajasthan: A 25-year-old woman allegedly drugged her husband to give him electric shocks as she was distressed by his abusive behavior. Officials said that the husband is currently being treated at a government hospital in Bikaner.
According to sub-inspector Manak Lal of Churu’s Sardar Sahar police station, Mahendra Dan (32), who is being treated at PBM hospital in Bikaner, stated in his complaint that his wife tried to murder him on August 12th.
Dan claimed his wife came with dinner at about 9 pm after he returned from work. Following the meal, he lost consciousness and awoke to electric shocks late at night. The woman wrapped her hands in polythene bags and tied electrical wires to his legs so she could electrocute him.
