A woman in Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh, has been arrested after she reportedly attacked her husband while he was asleep, using a sickle to sever his private parts. The incident occurred on the night of May 25, 2026, leading to the victim, identified as Rajesh Kaushik, being rushed to the state-run SIMS Hospital due to the severity of his injuries. Medical professionals have stated that he is currently in a critical condition and undergoing treatment.

Relationship Background and Motive

According to police reports, the couple had a history of frequent domestic disputes. Draupati Bai, the accused, had allegedly been suspecting her husband of engaging in an extramarital affair, which purportedly contributed to the tensions between them. Prior to the violent incident, the couple had shared dinner, indicating that no immediate conflict was apparent at that time.

The domestic turmoil reportedly escalated late at night when Draupati allegedly attacked Rajesh without warning. The assault caused substantial bleeding, and the victim managed to escape from the room, calling out for help. His pleas were heard by their minor son, who subsequently informed other relatives, prompting them to rush Rajesh to the hospital alongside the severed body part.

Police, alerted by the family, arrived at the scene shortly afterwards, taking Draupati Bai into custody. Initial investigations suggested that ongoing disputes and suspicions regarding infidelity were significant factors leading to the violent act.

Legal Proceedings and Investigation

An official case has been filed against Draupati Bai, with the local authorities continuing their investigation into the incident. The police have begun gathering evidence and witness statements to understand the full context of the events leading up to the assault. Ongoing inquiries will also focus on the couple’s previous conflicts as they work to piece together the circumstances surrounding this unfortunate occurrence.

The incident has garnered considerable attention within the local community, with many expressing shock and concern over the escalation of domestic issues leading to such extreme violence. Observers note the serious implications of domestic disputes and the need for more robust interventions in similar situations to prevent tragedies from occurring in the future.

The police have stated that they are committed to a thorough investigation, ensuring that all relevant details are uncovered. Support systems for both victims and perpetrators of domestic violence may also be examined for potential improvements in response to incidents like this.
