An argument started between Mamatha and Sujitha. Sujitha’s mother, Latha (50), stepped in to calm things down. But during the fight, Hemanth got angry and bit Latha’s right index finger. The finger got cut off and fell.

Latha was quickly taken to the hospital. Doctors said they could not reattach the finger.

Sujitha filed a complaint with the police. Madhuranagar police took Hemanth into custody and started an investigation.
