A man was brutally attacked with scissors in Howrah’s Bankra area after the husband of a local woman alleged that his wife was having an affair with their young neighbour. The victim, Mohammad Sarwar, sustained serious injuries and has been admitted to Howrah Hospital for treatment.
According to police, the accused, Sheikh Farooq, confronted Sarwar in Badamtala, Bankra 2, and suddenly attacked him with a pair of scissors. CCTV footage of the incident has surfaced, showing the victim running into a doctor’s chamber in an attempt to escape. Despite this, Farooq managed to assault him before fleeing the spot.
Investigators said the attack stemmed from Farooq’s suspicion that his wife was involved in an extramarital relationship. The incident unfolded inside Farooq’s house, where Sarwar had reportedly taken shelter at one point during the chase.
Police teams have launched a search operation to trace Farooq, who has been absconding since the attack. Officers said they are examining CCTV footage and speaking to local residents to piece together the full sequence of events.
