Just the other day in Andhra Pradesh's Nellore district, a husband set to fire the house in which his wife and her alleged boyfriend were living together. He killed them by preventing fellow villagers from saving the victims. Even as it's fresh in memory, another shocking incident has come to light in Tamil Nadu's Rajapalayam town.

A youngster named Madhishwaran was caught by a CCTV camera as brutally hacking his poor wife Priya on a road, that too near a police station. There apparently had been differences between the two. Although this reprehensible attack took place on June 20, it's only a couple of days ago that it came to light.

Madhishwaran first chased his wife. Unable to run away from him, Priya fell down in the middle of the road. It's then that the hubby took out a weighty object and started inhumanely hacking her. The efforts of the bystanders failed as Madhishwaran seemingly threatened them with dire consequences if they came forward to stop him.

While Priya has been hospitalized, police are looking into the incident.
