Details Of The Horrifying Incident
According to Bhardwaj’s detailed posts on X (formerly Twitter), the victim had gone to meet his son at his wife’s residence in Cyberabad as per visitation rights granted by a court. During the visit, his estranged wife allegedly attacked him with a knife, inflicting multiple severe injuries. “His only mistake was to go & meet his son as per permission granted by Court. His wife attacked him with knife & cut his hand open,” Bhardwaj wrote, sharing graphic visuals of the man’s wounds.
The activist claimed that despite the grievous nature of the attack, the police had registered the case under ‘simple hurt’ and no action had been taken against the accused woman. “Estranged wife almost tried to kill husband when he went to meet his son as per court orders. But @cyberabadpolice registers this as just ‘simple hurt’ though he got 38 stitches. No action taken at all. Mokila PS matter,” Bhardwaj wrote, tagging the Telangana Police, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and the DGP.

Cyberabad Police's Vague Reply
What drew wider public attention was the Cyberabad Police’s official response to her post, which simply read, “Where he stay madam.” The response was deleted later by the cops.
Bhardwaj quickly replied, clarifying, “He’s from Delhi. He went to his wife’s home to meet his son when he was attacked by her. He had visitation rights from court. It is so bad that you have taken no action against the wife and instead threatening this man and telling him his case is false.” She also stated that she had shared the full case details with the police through direct messages.
As of now, there has been no official confirmation of any arrests or legal action in the matter. The victim’s current health condition also remains unverified. The post has since gone viral, sparking debate about gender bias and police apathy in domestic violence cases.
