It was at around 5 pm when there were loud noises on the Hosur road. A wife shot her husband thrice in his abdomen due to a heated argument they had. The man stumbled out and jumped into a BMTC bus to escape, she took the wheel of the SUV and chased down the bus. Hamsa managed to waylay the bus, hopped on in search of her husband, and attacked him again.

Critically injured, Sairam MR, 53, was saved as passengers apprehended her and handed her over to police. Sairam was rushed to the Sparsh Hospital in Bommanahalli. The doctors reported that he is suffering from multiple wounds. “The couple had several problems in their marriage and according to the wife, an argument started between them and Sairam allegedly hit Hamsa,” said a senior police officer to The Times of India.

The medical director of Sparsh Hospital Dr. Sharan Patil told TOI: “Sairam underwent surgery for multiple wounds in his abdomen. Doctors are trying to stop the bleeding, which is the challenge now. Once the bleeding stops, we will be able to start treatment.”
