The Manikpur police in Vasai have arrested a woman and her alleged lover for brutally assaulting her husband in an attempt to murder him. On Tuesday night, Quincya Bhu-Hagohay and Satveer Naik allegedly poured boiling oil on Bhavishya Bhu-Hagohay, then tortured him before hammering his head in a bid to kill him.

Bhavishya's neighbours, alerted by the commotion, informed the cops immediately. The police rushed to their house at Pratapgad Apartment of Umelman area in Vasai West and took the victim to JJ Hospital. Bhavishya, 37, is said to be in a critical condition.

A police official told mid-day that they found Bhavishya in a semi-nude condition and he was bleeding profusely. "There were several burn injuries all over his body and multiple wounds on his head," he said.

The police have arrested the duo under Section 307 (attempt to murder) of Indian Penal Code. "They started a heated argument with him when he raised an objection to Quincya's illicit relationship with Satveer. Later, they threw boiling oil on him and then tied his hands and legs with a rope and smeared red chilli powder on his face and eyes. They then started hammering his head with an intention to kill him," said senior inspector Rajendra Kamble from Manikpur police station.
