A man and a woman have been arrested after his wife allegedly lodged a police complaint that they attempted to run her over in a car after being caught with each other, police said on Sunday (October 4, 2026).
A purported video of the incident that has surfaced online shows a woman hanging onto the bonnet of a car that is trying to move away.
Circle Officer Kotwali Sangram Singh said police have arrested the man and woman in the car and the vehicle has also been seized.
The incident took place on Saturday near the L-Block police outpost on Hapur Road under Lohiyanagar police station, police said.
Sunita, 32, a resident of Kazipur, spotted her husband Mayank, 36, travelling in a car with Mahi Verma, 34, and stopped them, they said.
An argument broke out between the couple, following which Sunita alleged that Mayank tried to run the car over her.
She also alleged that Mayank and the woman accompanying him abused her, pushed her into bushes and attempted to strangle her.
A case has been registered against the duo under Sections 109(1) (attempt to murder) and 352 (intentional insult with intent to provoke a breach of peace) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the police said.
A video purportedly showing a quarrel between the couple on the road has also surfaced on social media.
The footage appears to show the woman assaulting her husband and, at one point, being on the bonnet of the car.
Police, however, have not separately confirmed every incident shown in the video.
