He said the latest was on 29th May, 2018, when the police received a report that Mrs. Joy emptied a bucket of hot water on her husband over a disagreement.

Mr. Edgal said that findings revealed that the husband and the wife had a verbal disagreement which did not go down well with the wife; she went to bed with the grudges and still woke up with the grudges. The next morning, the husband went gone to the kitchen to get breakfast before going to work. The wife went to the same kitchen boiled water and emptied the hot water on her husband. His body peeled off as he sustained serious degree of injuries and was rushed to the hospital for treatment.

Mrs. Joy did not deny that she committed the offence but said that her husband used to beat her in the past and that was way she did it. The CP said the police were still investigating the matter and will definitely charge her to court.
