Uttar Pradesh: A momo date in Uttar Pradesh's Meerut landed a man in legal trouble after his wife caught him with his alleged girlfriend, leading to a high-voltage confrontation and an attempted murder charge.
Wife Catches Husband Eating Momo With Girlfriend
The incident took place on Saturday evening when Mayank was out eating momos with his alleged girlfriend, Mahi. His wife, Sunita, spotted them together inside his vehicle and confronted them. Enraged by the betrayal, Sunita began banging on the car windows.
Panicking at the sudden confrontation, Mayank locked the car from the inside and attempted to flee the scene.
Wife Dragged On Car Bonnet
To prevent him from fleeing, Sunita stepped in front of the vehicle and lay across the bonnet. Instead of stopping, Mayank accelerated and drove off while his wife was clinging to the hood for up to 100 meters.
Sunita was heard screaming for help from passersby, "Bhaiya bachaiyo... bhaiya bacho" ("Brother, save me... Brother, help").
Mayank was eventually forced to stop the car after local residents gathered at the spot.
Police Register Attempted Murder Case, Arrest Accused
Following the incident, Sunita filed a formal complaint accusing her husband of assault, dowry harassment, and infidelity. Taking cognisance of the incident, the police registered a case of attempted murder against Mayank.
"Following a verbal altercation, the man attempted to run over his wife with the intent to kill her. Taking cognisance of the case, we have filed a case," NDTV quoted Sangram Singh, Circle Officer, Kotwali, as saying.
Police have arrested both Mayank and Mahi. Additionally, the vehicle involved in the crime, a Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor bearing registration number UP15ER3086, has been seized. Further investigation into the matter is currently underway.
