A man in West Bengal on Monday chopped off his wife’s hand from the wrist to prevent her from taking a nursing job at a government hospital.
The husband in question is Sher Mohammad, a resident of Ketugram in East Burdwan district, and the victim is Renu Khatun. Though he went on to admit his wife at a local hospital immediately, Sher concealed the severed body part at his residence to ensure the doctors won’t be able to reattach it.
After admitting his wife, Sher fled the hospital and soon after that, his family members too went into hiding.
Local residents told the police that Renu was undergoing nursing training and was working as an assistant in a private hospital at the nearby industrial township of Durgapur.
