Bengaluru: A chilling incident unfolded near Pragathi Nagar in Bengaluru’s electronic city, where a man brutally slit his wife's throat in broad daylight over suspicion of infidelity. The victim, Sharada (35), was returning home after work and buying biscuits for her children when she was attacked by her husband, Krishnappa.
