MUMBAI: A 34-year-old man, who suspected his wife of infidelity, stabbed their 12-year-old daughter five times and fled from the spot. The incident took place on Wednesday night in Chembur (W).
The Tilak Nagar police have registered a case of attempt to murder against Kamlesh Solanki for attempting to kill his daughter, Bhakti. Solanki, who worked at different places, suspected his wife of infidelity. This caused family problems between the two.
Fed up with the fights, Solanki’s wife, Mamta, went to her mother’s place in Mulund along with her daughter. The incident occurred when she returned home.
“Solanki attacked the girl with a knife five times at around 9.45pm on Wednesday at Siddharth Nagar in Chembur. He fled from the spot. Mamta and her neighbors rushed a bleeding Bhakti to hospital where she is undergoing treatment,” said an officer from the Tilak Nagar police station. Sources said that Solanki was angry that the girl went along with her mother.
