Some people present in the temple took her to Morena’s district hospital where she is undergoing treatment, he said.
The police officer said the woman took the step out of her own “faith and belief”.
The woman’s husband, Ravi Tomar, said his wife had been visiting the Bijasen temple every day in the morning and evening since they were married.
“We have three sons. My wife is a devotee of Goddess Durga. She suddenly sliced off her tongue yesterday afternoon when she was offering prayers at the temple,” he said.
