Vexed by boyfriend's trust issues, Ludhiana woman stabs him: Cops
Ludhiana, June 16 -- A love affair, started three months ago through Instagram, turned violent in Ludhiana's Sahnewal area after a 20-year-old woman allegedly stabbed her boyfriend during a heated argument over trust issues in their relationship.
Police said the attack took place on Sunday when the victim, Manpreet Singh, 32, had gone to meet the accused, Khushi, at her paying guest facility and she objected to him checking her mobile phone.
