Crime desk: At one side we talk about women equality and how women are so empowered now, meanwhile barbaric cases of violence against women continue to be reported in our country. In two consecutive incidents in different parts of the country , the husbands have cut off their wives’ tongue in a fit of rage and wives lie in critical condition.
In a shocking incident from Bihar’s Muzaffarpur, a Muslim man severed his wife’s tongue yesterday. The incident pertains to Saraiya village of Muzaffarpur, where an ugly brawl between two wives devolved into husband cutting tongue of his second wife. She was rushed to the hospital where the doctors tended to her injuries. According to the doctors, the nature of the injury on 22-year-old victim Meena Khatoon was serious and she continues to remain critical as a lot of blood was lost before bringing her to the hospital. According to the information received in this case, the police have registered an FIR against the second wife after arresting the accused husband as well as the complaint of the victim's mother. In this case, the accused had returned from Rajasthan on the day of Karva Chauth and in the complaint, the victim's mother has told that her son-in-law was upset by the quarrel in both wives and beat Meena first in a closed room and then slit her tongue. This case cannot be called the first such case because just a week ago, a woman named Tasleem in the Juhapura area in the city of Ahmedabad in India filed a police complaint claiming that her husband had cut off her tongue on Wednesday, October 9. She had to be rushed to the Sardar Vallabhai Patel hospital where her tongue had to be surgically reattached, while her husband remained on the run. She also revealed that only after she had married the man in August 2018 had she found out that she was his third wife and that he was still living with his ex-wife and son. He would regularly beat Tasleem up when she asked him to look for a job. The police identified the accused as 46-year-old Ayyub Mansuri and finally caught him on Monday, October 14. During his interrogation, he claimed to have had no choice but to cut off his wife’s tongue because it got stuck to his during an intense makeout session. “Mansuri said when matters turned passionate he found his wife Tasleem’s tongue fused with his. So, he tried to separate the two tongues, during which his wife’s tongue was severed,” a police officer told.
Tasleem had managed to video call her sister who rushed to help her right after the incident. She maintained that they had got into a nasty fight when she refused to give him money last week. “On Wednesday night at around 11pm, when we were lying on bed, my husband smiled at me and told that he wanted to kiss me on my tongue. I stuck out my tongue and as soon as I did, he first bit my tongue and held it and then cut it off with a knife he had hidden from me,” states the complainant, who is still unable to speak or eat properly.
And if this situation wasn’t scary enough already, it gets even more spine-chilling. The police are now saying that Mansuri had murdered his first wife, and assaulted his second one. “Mansuri was charged with murder for allegedly burning his first wife, Parveen, to death. While criminal proceedings were still pending, he married a woman from Mumbai and assaulted her. She left him. He then married Tasleem,” a police officer revealed.
