Police in the Thane district of Maharashtra have registered an attempted murder case against a 53-year-old man who they say used a knife to strike his wife during a fight at their Dombivili home, reported PTI.
According to the report, the Thane man ran away from the site after the incident on Monday. His 47-year-old spouse is presently undergoing treatment at a nearby hospital after suffering a serious stomach injury.
In their son's complaint, the pair claimed that their frequent disagreements were caused by the husband's suspicions about his wife's activities on her phone, the PTI report further stated.
Based on the complaint, the police have registered a case under Indian Penal Code Section 307 (attempt to murder). The incident is still being looked into, a police official told the news agency.

Reportedly, in another incident from Thane district, six teenagers have been charged with first-degree assault for allegedly attacking two younger brothers after a fight broke out over a game on their phones.

Based on the complaint, the police have filed a case against the six minors under several sections of the Indian Penal Code, including encouraging animosity between groups, intentionally hurting someone for personal gain, causing intentional offence to cause disturbance and criminal intimidation.
