A woman techie in Chennai is in a critical condition after her throat was allegedly slit by her husband at a renowned software company where she worked yesterday.
According to the police, the man attacked his wife at her office premises outside the city when she entered it in the evening. He reportedly told security personnel who had questioned his presence that he was waiting to meet his wife.
After attacking her, he slit himself even as security guards and a few of the woman's colleagues intervened to help her and stop him from attempting suicide. The man was reportedly upset with his wife as she had sought a divorce.
