At her residence in Nallakunta city late on Monday night, D Anitha, 50, a senior assistant in the revenue department, was attacked by her distant relative Suresh, a driver. Anitha was cut in her throat and both hands by Suresh when he attacked her with a hacksaw blade.

Police claim that Suresh lives in Chevella. He visited Anitha's home on Monday night. They got into a disagreement over money difficulties. He assaulted her with the hacksaw blade he had with him as the debate heated up.
