THANE: A 35-year-old man, a native of Nepal, was recently arrested for attempting to kill his wife by attacking her with a kitchen knife following an argument over her alleged extra-marital relations with a local tea vendor, the police informed.
Senior inspector Lakshman Tambe at the Shreenagar police station informed that the accused has settled in Thane since the last several years. He had married the victim a few years back after she separated from her first husband. The duo used to have frequent quarrels as the husband objected to her alleged closeness to a local tea vendor, he said.
