Freak Accident: Bullet pierces Man's head, hits his Pregnant Wife!

In a bizarre incident,  34- year- old man has been admitted to a Delhi- based hospital’s intensive care unit after he shot himself in ear while in the midst of arguments with his wife. The argument snowballed into a freak accident when the bullet pierced the man’s head and also hit his seven- month pregnant wife. 

The incident took place when the couple went for a routine checkup to the hospital and on their way back to home, they broke into a scuffle over the man being unemployed.

The man, who was in anger, shot himself in the ear. The same bullet travelled through his head and hit his wife’s neck. The incident was reported to police when a passer- by noted something suspicious in the car and noticed the couple bleeding. They were rushed to the hospital.

Hindustan Times quoted Deputy Police Commissioner (Manesar) Deepak Saharan as saying that the bullet entered through the man’s ear and came out of the other side and hit the woman. “The ballistics report is awaited. We have lodged an FIR,” he said.

The police told the media that a 7.62 mm cartridge was used in the pistol. The on- going investigation will probe into the matter and check if he possessed a licence for the gun.

Reportedly, the wife is also out of danger and the couple is undergoing treatment at Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi.
