However, they are waiting for the man to regain consciousness to register a case. Officials from the Tulinj police station — under whose jurisdiction the case falls — say the incident took place around 11.30 am, in the Moregaon area of Nalasopara.
The couple was having a domestic feud, when they came to blows. Jitendra Vishwakarma, the husband, charged towards his wife to hit her and she stabbed him with a kitchen knife that was lying nearby. Vishwakarma started bleeding profusely, and was screaming because of the injury.

“We found both the wife and husband at home when we reached the spot. We then rushed him (Vishwakarma) to the hospital, and questioned the wife about the incident. She said that the incident took place when she was trying to save herself from her husband who was about to hit her,” said PSI Umesh Bhosle from Tulinj police station.
Unconscious
However, no case has been filed yet, since Vishwakarma is in no state to provide any statement. Also, there is no other witness to the incident. “We will file the case once he is conscious and is able to tell us what exactly happened,” said another officer from the police station.
