Man shaves wife’s head after finding hair in food

A Bangladeshi who forcibly shaved his wife’s head after finding a hair in his breakfast has been arrested, police said.

Police raided a village in the northwestern district of Joypurhat and arrested Bablu Mondal, 35, after villagers told officers about the incident.

“He found a human hair on the rice and milk breakfast his wife prepared for him,” local police chief Shahriar Khan said.

“He became angry seeing the hair and blamed the wife. He then took a blade and forcibly shaved the head of the wife,” he said. Bablu was charged with “voluntarily causing grievous hurt,” an offense that carries a maximum sentence of 14 years in jail.
