A 37-year-old woman was rescued by police on Wednesday after she allegedly jumped into the Hindon canal near Kanawani in Indirapuram, after a domestic dispute with her husband, police said.
“Her husband and other family members were also chasing her when the incident happened. After she jumped, they immediately informed the police, and a team from Indirapuram rushed to the spot. Divers were roped in and she was rescued. “Her condition is stable. It was some domestic dispute with her husband that they both had a fight about. Aggravated, the woman went towards the canal and decided to jump. Timely call to the police and swift intervention rescued her,” ACP added. “Her husband is a police inspector presently posted in Hathras. There was a dispute between the two, which led to the incident. If the woman files a complaint, we will act accordingly. Her condition is stable at present,” the DCP added.
