AHMEDABAD: While Amadvadis were busy flying and cutting kites on Uttarayan and vaasi-Uttarayan, on Sunday an angry ex-husband chomped off his wife's lips and beat her black and blue when she refused to compromise and come back to him.

Pushpa Dhantayan, 27, is admitted in VS Hospital for plastic surgery after her husband bit off a significant part of her lip and spat the flesh out on the road. "Pushpa has lost one third of her right upper and lower lip as well the corner of the mouth. We will have to reconstruct the lips so that she can eat and hold her saliva, which are the prime functions of the lips apart from adding to the aesthetics of the face", said head of plastic surgery at VS Dr Vijay Bhatia.

The surgery will be performed in the next two days. "Since Pushpa has been bitten by a human there are chances of bacterial infection. Hence we have put her on antibiotics before the surgery", Dr Bhatia said.

Pushpa's ill-luck with marriage has continued. Pushpa told TOI that she had first married eight years ago and was divorced after the birth of a son. She fended for her son by working as a domestic help. Five months ago, she met Jeetu Rajput, an auto-rickshaw driver and decided to marry him.

Just a month into the marriage, she realized that Rajput was a drunkard and a woman-beater. She divorced him in ten days and went back to her parents' home in Vasna. On Uttarayan, Jeetu came to meet her and asked her to come back to him. She refused saying that since they were divorced, there was no point in even having such a discussion.

"Jeetu came back drunk on Sunday. He clamped his hand over my mouth and shoved me into a ricksshaw. He then hit me and bit me on the back as well as the mouth. He has chewed off the right side of my lips. Doctors say I will have to remain admitted for a major surgery", Pushpa, who is able to speak, told TOI. She was accompanied by her son Hritik and her father Ashokwho supported her through the ordeal.

COIMBATORE: In a bizarre incident, a woman allegedly poured boiling groundnut oil on her husband's head following a quarrel over trivial issues, in a village near Avinashi on Wednesday evening. The condition of 42-year-old C Rangasamy, who sustained more than 60% burn injuries, remains critical. He is admitted to the Coimbatore Medical College Hospital while his wife is absconding.

According to the Avinashi police, C Rangasamy of Kallankattupudur is a real estate agent. Around 3.30pm on Wednesday, an altercation erupted between Rangasamy and his wife R Radha (38) after he returned home from work. As he was tired, he retired to bed, asking his wife to bring him a cup of tea. As she made the tea, he fell asleep.

Radha boiled groundnut oil and poured it on the head of the sleeping Rangasamy. As he cried for help, she snatched his mobile phone and left home, locking the door from outside. She went to her mother's house in Avinashi town. As the house was located in an isolated area, Rangasamy was not able to receive immediate help. He had to break free through the roof. His brother-in-law Rakkiappan immediately took him to Coimbatore Medical College Hospital, where he is recovering.

Meanwhile, judicial magistrate L S Sathiyamurthy recorded a statement from Rangasamy at the hospital on Thursday. In the statement, Rangasamy admitted that he often quarrelled with his wife over petty issues.

Avinashi police have registered a case against Radha under section 326 (voluntarily causing grievous hurt by dangerous weapons or means) of Indian Penal Code on Thursday. "After pouring the boiled oil on her husband, Radha went absconding. Our team went to her parent's house but failed to locate her. We will arrest her soon," Avinashi police inspector K Kaliannan said. The couple has two sons- R Pavithran (9) and R Raju (8).
