A man reportedly struck and hurt his sister using a saw after she protested his verbal abuse toward their mother. He also struck their grandmother and uncle when they attempted to stop him, according to police statements on Saturday.
The event occurred in Dulehar village, Una district of Himachal Pradesh, on Friday morning. The 22-year-old woman received a serious cut near her ear and was taken to the local Community Health Centre in Dulaihar. Doctors recommended an X-ray and head scan to assess possible internal damage.
In her statement, the woman said she was brushing her teeth at home around 7 am when her brother began shouting at their mother. She tried to calm him and urged him not to mistreat their mother. The man became angry, grabbed a saw during the argument, and struck her, police reported.
