A woman in Madhya Pradesh’s Rewa district has seriously injured her husband’s first wife by stabbing her more than 50 times with a knife following an argument. A chilling video of the incident has emerged, showing Mansi, the accused, repeatedly stabbing Jaya.

According to the police, Mansi, 22, and Jaya, 26, are married to a man named Rambabu Verma. The incident happened on Diwali, October 31, when Mansi and Jaya had an argument over an issue, which then turned violent.

In a fit of rage, Mansi stabbed Jaya more than 50 times with a knife. The video of the gory incident shows Mansi standing next to Jaya, who was lying injured in a pool of blood after the attack. Mansi can also be seen kicking Jaya’s face and abusing her.

India Today is not sharing the video of the incident due to the graphic nature of the content.

Jaya was rushed to a hospital where her condition was said to be critical.

After receiving an alert about the incident, a police team reached the spot and arrested Mansi under the relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhiata (BNS).

According to the police, Jaya was married to Rambabu Verma in 2019. However, due to her poor health, Verma married Mansi in 2021.

Speaking about the case, senior police official Udit Mishra said a case has been registered. “Rambabu’s first wife Jaya was often unwell which prompted him to marry Manasi. We are waiting for a statement from the victim to add to our investigation,” Mishra told the media.
