“On June 12, I told my husband that I took some money from his wallet for some urgent household expense. Having heard this, he got angry and questioned how I dared to take money from his wallet. Before I could say anything, he started punching me on my face and back,” stated the complainant.

In immense pain, the woman called up her friend who rushed her to a nearby private hospital where she was hospitalised for a day on Thursday.
