Pune man jailed 7 years for feeding wife capsules with blade pieces

Pune man jailed 7 years for feeding wife capsules with blade pieces

A sessions court convicted him of attempted murder and cruelty, relying on medical evidence after the wife and son did not fully support the prosecution at trial.

A Pune sessions court has sentenced a 45-year-old man to seven years' rigorous imprisonment for trying to kill his wife with capsules containing pieces of a blade.

Doctors removed a blade piece from her stomach in November 2023; police recovered capsules and blade pieces from the man's home.

The court acquitted him of separate charges of assault and insult for lack of evidence.
