NEW DELHI, April 27 (RIA Novosti) - A doctor from the northern Indian state of Punjab cut off a hand of a relative and one of his wife's hands in a fit of jealousy, the national CNN-IBN channel reported on Monday.
The incident occurred on Sunday when the young doctor was drinking with the relative, who he suspected of having an affair with his wife. The doctor attacked him, cutting off the hand and taking it home. He then chopped off one of his wife's hands, and went into hiding.
Both victims are currently in hospital. Even if found, the amputated hands cannot be reattached, as more than six hours have passed since they were severed.
The police search for the attacker is ongoing.
