Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

Police in Bhadohi, Uttar Pradesh have registered an attempt to murder case against Om Prakash Vishwakarma after he allegedly assaulted his wife Preeti Vishwakarma (40) over potato curry on the evening of 12 October. The accused bit her in several places and repeatedly struck her head with a stone, leaving her critically injured and unconscious in Domampur village. Their children raised the alarm, and neighbours took her to a community health centre, from where she was referred to the district hospital. Circle Officer Rajiv Kumar Singh said the accused fled after Preeti lost consciousness. She has since improved. Based on her complaint on 14 October, police filed charges under Sections 109(1) (attempt to murder) and 352 (intentional insult to provoke breach of peace) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The accused is absconding, and a search is under way.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Both outlets report the same facts from a PTI-sourced police statement: the date, the names, the charges and the flight of the accused. The Times of India leads with the detail of the assault, ‘biting at several places’ and ‘repeatedly hitting her head with a stone’, in its headline and first paragraph, making the violence the immediate news. India Today leads with the same violent act but places it after the police context: ‘police have filed an attempt to murder case’. Neither outlet adds comment from the accused, from family, or from any advocacy group on domestic violence, so the coverage is uniform wire-based reporting on what police said. The only available ending is the police search for the absconding accused.
