Hyderabad: Angered at her mother not being taken care of properly, a woman who returned from abroad a few months ago, attacked her sister-in-law at their house in KPHB on Thursday.
Veeramani attacked Anoosha with a kitchen knife, slashing her on the neck while the latter was cooking, police said. The cops registered a case against Veeramani for attacking Anoosha and Veeramani’s techie husband for harassing Anoosha.
Police said Srinivas, an employee of a private firm and his wife Anoosha, 30, are staying in KPHB. Srinivas’s sister Veeramani, 38, and her husband Shankar returned from the United States in January 2017.
After their return the couple were staying with Srinivas’s family and Srinivas’s mother Jhansi, 70.
A few days after coming to Hyderabad, the couple started fighting with Anoosha for petty reasons like lack of facilities or Anoosha’s failure to take proper care of Jhansi.
Meanwhile, around five days ago, Anoosha went to her parents’ home for vacation. She came back on Wednesday and was planning to go back to her parents’ home once again for some more days.
On Thursday morning Veeramani picked up a fight with Anoosha saying that she was not taking proper care of her elderly mother. The argument turned serious and Veeramani in a sudden fit of rage, attacked Anoosha with a knife used for cutting vegetables.
“Anoosha suffered a deep wound on her neck. However, she is out of danger. She filed a complaint stating that she was being harassed by Veeramani and her husband,” KPHB inspector Kushalkar said.
Based on her complaint, a case was registered against the couple and they were detained for questioning. Anoosha was sent for medical examination by the police.
