Attack Over Phone Conversation
In a shocking incident in Gorakhpur's AIIMS police station area, a 25-year-old woman allegedly attacked her 55-year-old mother-in-law with a knife, slitting her throat following an argument over a mobile phone conversation with a young man. The accused, identified as Vandana, has been arrested and sent to jail, according to AIIMS police station SHO Santosh Awasthi.
Incident Details
The incident occurred in Malmalia Jagdishpur village on Monday night. Vandana's husband, Jaihind, works as a labourer outside the district.
