A man is accused of chasing his wife, a 26-year-old nurse, and attacking her with a machete and acid near a clinic in Bengaluru, police said. The incident occurs after the woman steps out for breakfast and later near hospital parking, where she is taken for treatment.
Multiple reports say the attack happens close to J P Nagar. Traffic police officers intervene at the scene and take the alleged attacker into custody. The nurse is described as being in critical condition and is receiving hospital care. Authorities are investigating the circumstances leading up to the assault, including reported differences between the couple and possible separation.
While coverage varies in how the location is described (near a clinic versus hospital parking), the core allegations are consistent: the suspect chases the nurse, uses a machete, and pours acid or a cleaning substance on her, and police detain him shortly after the incident. The case remains under investigation, with details of the motive and exact sequence of events still being verified.
