Singh said the woman earlier worked in a private hospital in Hapur where she fell in love with a man running a medical store there and the two got married.

Their marriage, however, was not successful and the woman began living in Baral village under the Gulaothi Police Station area in Bulandshahr district where she had also opened a private clinic.

Her husband, however, reached the village clinic and attacked her with a surgical blade following some arguments between them, he said.
