A man in Uttar Pradesh’s Hardoi district allegedly bit off his wife’s nose after discovering her at another man’s home. The incident occurred recently (reported on June 19, 2025), and the suspect is now in police custody, with the case under investigation .

This incident has sparked outrage, highlighting alarming levels of domestic violence.

For broader context, I also found details about a similar but separate incident from earlier this year in West Bengal’s Nadia district:

• On May 2, 2025, a man named Bapan Sheikh bit off his wife Madhu Khatun’s nose in the early hours—allegedly because he had previously complimented it and even threatened to bite it off. He then reportedly swallowed it, according to her mother, before fleeing the scene
• Neighbors heard screams around 3 a.m., and Madhu filed a complaint after escaping; Bapan was arrested shortly thereafter
