A police source in the Meiran

him.
While assuring the public that
the matter would be thoroughly investigated, the police source said the
division was monitoring the progress of the husband, who had been hospitalised

happened. The incident happened about six days ago. It was a true story. She
poured hot water on her husband purposely because she felt that he cheated on
her,” the police source said.
"They were supposed to go
to a party together. However, the husband went all alone. We are still
monitoring the progress of the husband because he has been hospitalised since
that day. He has not been discharged.
"We arrested the wife
immediately because that is a capital offence. There is no option for bail. We
are waiting for the appropriate time for us to move the case to the state CID.”
