Doctors in Chandigarh today removed a knife from a woman's back, 32 hours after she was allegedly stabbed by her husband on Tuesday.
The woman, who is in her mid-thirties, was at her parents' home in Kapurthala, when her husband, an alleged drug addict, came and stabbed her after an argument.
"She was stabbed by her husband who is a drug addict, he had come to meet her, we never knew he would do such a thing," said the woman's uncle, Joginder Singh.
The woman was first taken to a hospital in Amritsar, but given the serious nature of injury, she was referred to PGI Chandigarh. She had to travel 450 kilometres with a knife in her back.
"The patient was successfully operated upon by experts and has been shifted to the ward," said Manju Wadwalkar, PGI spokesperson.
