A man allegedly bit off a portion of his wife’s nose following a heated argument over loan repayment in this district, police said on Friday.
The incident occurred on July 8 at Mantaraghatta village in Davanagere district.
Vidhya is currently undergoing treatment at a hospital in Shivamogga district and is stated to be in stable condition.
According to the police, Vidhya had taken a loan for which her husband, Vijay, had stood as guarantor. When she failed to repay the instalments, the lenders began harassing the couple, leading to frequent quarrels.
During one such argument, Vijay allegedly abused and assaulted Vidhya. In a fit of rage, he bit off a portion of her nose, causing serious injury, a senior police officer said.
She was initially taken to the Channagiri government hospital for first aid and later shifted to a hospital in Shivamogga for advanced treatment.
Police have registered a case and initiated further investigation.
