(Riya Singh, Intern Journalist): In a loathsome incident, a father of five daughters allegedly ripped open the stomach of his pregnant wife with a weapon on Saturday evening to find out if she was going to deliver a son this time.
“Pannalal opened the stomach of his wife, aged around 35, with a sharp-edged weapon in the Nekpur locality under Civil Lines police station area, causing her serious injuries”, SP (City) Pravin Singh Chauhan said.
An FIR has been lodged and the husband has been arrested, the SP said, adding that the reasons behind the crime are being looked into.
The family of the woman told the police that Pannalal wanted a son and committed the crime to know if it was a male or female fetus.
The locals immediately rushed the woman to the district hospital and from there she was sent to the Bareilly hospital in a serious condition. The woman was six to seven months pregnant, police said.
