The incident took place last night after the Border Security Force (BSF) jawan, Kamal Singh, returned home in an inebriated state. He started quarrelling with his wife over some trivial issues, Sahibabad police station inspector Upendra Yadav said.
When his wife protested against his misbehaviour, Singh fired at her from his revolver. His wife called up police helpline number late last night and alleged that Singh attempted to kill her, the police inspector said.
