In Sultanpuri, Delhi, a woman allegedly bit off her husband’s right ear in a fit of rage on Sunday, after which the man had to undergo a surgery. 

The 45-year-old victim informed the authorities that the bite had severed the top part of his right ear, necessitating surgery. Following the surgery, the victim registered a complaint against his wife.

The husband told police, “I went to throw garbage outside my house around 9.20 am on November 20. I asked my wife to clean the house. Soon after I returned home, my wife started fighting with me over an unknown issue.” 

He further said that his wife asked him to sell the house and give her a share so that she would be able to stay separately with the children.

 He added, “I tried to make her understand, but a verbal spat ensued. She even tried to hit me, but I pushed her away. I was walking out of the house when she held me from the back and in a fit of rage bit my right ear so hard that the upper portion of my ear got dismembered. My son took me to Sanjay Gandhi Hospital in Mangolpuri for treatment.”

A team was dispatched to conduct an investigation after the police claimed to have received information about the attack on November 20 from a hospital.

The victim was unwell and not in a condition to give his statement. He had requested the police that he would come to the police station to give his statement. On November 22, he approached the police and gave a written complaint. We have registered an FIR into the matter and further investigation is in progress,” said a senior police officer.

An FIR has been registered against the woman under Section 324 (voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), and the police are currently conducting further investigations into the incident.
