Gwalior Woman Alleges Husband Attacked Her With Temple Sword Over Religious Videos

A dispute over watching religious videos turned violent in Gwalior after a husband allegedly picked up a sword kept in a temple and attacked his wife. The woman suffered serious injuries to her head, hands and legs. Covered in blood, she ran into a neighbour’s house and locked herself inside a room to save her life. She later became unconscious. Her family members and neighbours took her to the hospital, where she is undergoing treatment.

The incident took place in the Badagate Kanch Mill area under the Hazeera police station limits in Gwalior. Police have registered a case of attempted murder against the woman’s husband on the basis of her statements and the medical report. The accused is reportedly absconding, and police are searching for him.

According to police, 36-year-old Revati alias Ritu Tomar was at home with her children on Monday night, watching videos related to Lord Shri Ram on a mobile phone. Her 38-year-old husband, Karu alias Karanveer Singh Tomar, arrived there during this time.

The husband allegedly told his wife to stop watching videos of Shri Ram and watch videos of Lord Mahakal instead. A dispute began between the two over this issue. The argument soon escalated.

During the dispute, the husband also allegedly threatened to divorce his wife. The argument then reportedly turned violent. According to the allegation, Karanveer Singh Tomar picked up a sword kept in the temple and attacked Ritu.

The woman was allegedly attacked several times with the sword on her head, hands and legs. Police said the attack was carried out with the intention of killing her. Ritu suffered serious injuries in the sudden assault.

Amid the screams and chaos inside the house, the injured woman somehow managed to run out and tried to save her life. In a blood-soaked condition, she entered a neighbour’s house and locked herself inside a room.

Because of her serious injuries, Ritu became unconscious inside the room. After hearing the woman’s screams, her family members and neighbours reached the spot. They found her injured and took her to the hospital without delay.

Ritu was taken to the Trauma Centre at Jairogya Hospital. She was admitted there because of the seriousness of her condition, and her treatment is continuing.

After receiving information about the incident, Hazeera police recorded the woman’s statement. On the basis of her statement and the medical report, police registered a case of attempted murder against her husband.

The accused, Karanveer Singh Tomar, reportedly fled after attacking his wife with the sword. Police are looking for him and are making efforts to arrest him.

The incident began with an argument over videos related to Lord Shri Ram and Lord Mahakal on a mobile phone. It later ended with a sword attack and the hospitalisation of a seriously injured woman. The incident has once again brought attention to a domestic dispute in Gwalior that took a violent turn. Police are continuing their search for the accused.
