Police said that around 7.15am on Thursday, Bhim Sen quarrelled with his wife over a domestic issue. The argument escalated and he allegedly attacked her with a piece of glass from a broken windowpane. Hearing their mother cry, the daughters intervened to save her, but the father attacked them as well. One of the daughters was injured in the stomach, while the other women were injured in the chest and hands.
