In a bizarre turn of events, a woman in Kalaburagi orchestrated an attack on her own husband to keep him from leaving her. Umadevi, a resident of Attar Compound in Gazipur, was enraged by her husband Venkatesh’s alleged closeness to another woman. Having quarreled repeatedly over the issue, she devised a shocking plan—to render him immobile so that he would stay with her.

Umadevi, who had married Venkatesh for love three decades ago, hired three men—Arif, Manohar, and Sunil—to carry out the assault. She paid them ₹5 lakh to break his legs. However, the crime took an unexpected twist when their son, unaware of his mother’s involvement, reported the attack to the Brahmapur police, suspecting it to be a dacoity attempt.

Superintendent of Police Sharanappa stated that investigators found discrepancies in the case, leading them to detain the three attackers. Upon interrogation, they confessed that Umadevi had ordered the assault. She was subsequently arrested.

Despite the brutal attack, Venkatesh expressed disbelief over his wife’s actions, attributing his suffering to fate. In a surprising revelation, he stated that he still wishes to live with her once she is released from prison.
