Married Man Allegedly Stabs Woman, Attempts Suicide After Marriage Rejection in Bahraich
In a shocking incident of violence stemming from a rejected marriage proposal, a married man allegedly attacked a woman with a knife and then attempted suicide in Bahraich district of Uttar Pradesh. The disturbing event unfolded on Saturday night in Madhavapur village under the jurisdiction of the Murtihā police station.
Violent Confrontation Following Refusal
According to police reports, the accused, identified as Jairam (38), arrived at the woman's residence and pressured her to marry him. When the 30-year-old woman firmly refused his proposal, Jairam allegedly became enraged and attacked her with a knife, inflicting serious injuries.
Immediately following the assault on the woman, Jairam turned the violence upon himself. He stabbed himself in the abdomen and consumed a poisonous pesticide that he had reportedly brought with him to the location.
Emergency Response and Hospitalization
The violent altercation was interrupted when family members and neighbors heard screams coming from the woman's house. They rushed to the scene and discovered both individuals severely injured. The bystanders promptly arranged transportation to Bahraich Medical College, where both the woman and Jairam are currently undergoing emergency medical treatment.
Background of the Relationship
Police investigation has revealed that the incident is connected to a relationship that developed approximately two years ago between Jairam and the married woman. The woman's husband works as a laborer in Mumbai, while Jairam is also married with his own family.
Investigators stated that Jairam had been frequently visiting the woman's house over an extended period. However, in recent days, the woman had reportedly stopped communicating with him, which may have contributed to the escalation of tensions leading to the violent confrontation.
Official Statements and Legal Proceedings
In her statement to police at the hospital, the injured woman alleged that Jairam forcibly broke open the door of her house before attacking her when she refused his marriage proposal. This account forms the basis of the ongoing police investigation.
Circle Officer Pradyumna Singh of Mihinpurwa confirmed that authorities are registering a case based on the woman's statement. "A thorough investigation is currently underway to examine all aspects of this serious incident," Singh stated, emphasizing that police are following proper legal procedures.
