Sunder Nagri, Delhi – At approximately 11 pm on September 13, a domestic dispute in Delhi’s Sunder Nagri turned violent when a 35‑year‑old husband, identified as Majid Hussain, allegedly struck his wife with a shaving blade. Police reports confirm the attack followed a quarrel over the husband’s alleged affair with another woman.
The wife had left the home with their three children for 15 days, seeking refuge at her parents’ house in Loni due to repeated arguments. Two days before the incident, the husband and his father persuaded her to return, only for another argument to erupt upon her arrival.
Police received a 11:40 pm call at Nand Nagri Police Station reporting a woman allegedly attacked on the neck by her husband. The victim was transported to Rajiv Gandhi Hospital, where she received treatment and gave her statement to the police. An FIR was registered under Section 109 of the Indian Penal Code on September 14.
A forensic team collected evidence from the scene, and the accused was later apprehended. During questioning, he allegedly confessed to the assault and handed over the shaving blade, which police recovered.
Investigations revealed that Hussain had no prior criminal record and is not listed as a bad character. The case is currently under further scrutiny.
