Woman shot in the eye with arrow; loses vision

A 48-year-old tribal woman from Jobat area here lost sight in her left eye after her husband allegedly shot an arrow at her under the influence of liquor, police said today.
Victim Sah Bai with the arrow stuck near her left eye, was rushed to Jobat Community Health Centre (PHC) from where she moved to district hospital which referred her to government medical college and hospital in Indore last evening, area police station inspector Amarnath Sharma told PTI.
The arrow was successfully removed from Sah's head this noon at Indore, the inspector said.
"We have launched a hunt to arrest Ann Singh (50) who shot the arrow injuring his wife," he added.

Sharma said Ann resting on a cot outside his house called his wife and got furious when she didn't turn up. As soon she ventured out of the home, he shot her with an arrow lying nearby.
Soon after the incident, Ann fled from the spot and son Rakesh rushed his mother to the PHC, he added.
"We have booked the accused under section 307 of IPC and further investigations are on," Sharma added.
