A chilling video shows the accused, Mansi, repeatedly stabbing Jaya, the accused, leaving her critically injured.

Mansi has been arrested by the police. Jaya is undergoing treatment at a hospital in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. Her condition is said to be critical. A case has been registered against the accused.
The incident happened on October 31 when Mansi, 22, and Jaya, 26, both argued over an issue. In a fit of rage, Mansi stabbed Jaya with a knife for over 50 times. They are both married to one Rambabu Verma.
The police informed that Rambabu Verma married Jaya in 2019. In 2021, he married Mansi due to Jaya's poor health.
“Rambabu's first wife, Jaya, was often unwell, which led him to marry Manasi. We are waiting for a statement from the victim to add to our investigation,” a police officer Udit Mishra was quoted as saying by India Today.
