According to the victim’s husband, there was a family feud with his wife a month ago. Later, her wife went to her father’s house over the issue. He brought back his wife after the issue was resolved.
On Sunday morning when he was at Salua bazar, his nine-year-old son rushed to him and informed that a group of people had attacked his wife.
When he returned home, the attackers were already gone. During the assault, they also cut off the woman’s hair.
The victim’s husband filed a case against nine people in this connection.
Chowgaccha Police Station Officer-in-Charge SM Enamul Haque said that they arrested seven suspects. “We’re trying to arrest the others,” he said.
