Mangaluru, Feb 20: A woman allegedly assaulted her husband in full public view in front of a shop near Clock Tower, Hampankatta here on Friday February 20.
It is said that Manjula, who works in a shop near the Clock Tower, had married Lingaraju from Davangere some years back. Theirs was a love marriage. However, later Manjula separated from him due to his addiction to alcohol, and since then, refused to allow him near their children too.
Despite the estrangement, Lingaraju has been visiting her every day to try and meet their children, police sources said.
On Friday, when he came once again, an argument arose between the couple, snowballing into a full-fledged quarrel.
In a fit of rage, Manjula allegedly assaulted her husband with footwear.
As soon as the quarrelling began, curious onlookers began to gather and tried to intervene.
The Bunder police took the couple for inquiry and released them after reaching a compromise. No case has been filed.
