Mumbai Man Stabs Wife and Mother‑in‑Law Over Refusal of Money for Drugs

Police reported that a 31‑year‑old resident of Mumbai approached his mother‑in‑law asking for money to buy narcotics. When she refused, the man turned violent, stabbing both his wife and his mother‑in‑law with a knife.
The two women sustained serious injuries and were rushed to a nearby hospital, where they are receiving treatment. Their condition was described as critical but stable by medical staff.
Law enforcement officers arrived at the scene shortly after the attack, detained the suspect and began a formal investigation. The motive, according to officials, appears linked to the suspect's demand for drug‑related funds.
Authorities have not disclosed further details about the suspect's background or any prior incidents, but they emphasized that drug‑related domestic violence remains a concern in the city.
