A 62-year-old Indian-origin woman in a drunken state assaulted her businessman husband in the street over his double life with a mistress, a court has heard.
Jaginder Singh is said to have hit her husband Narinder Singh because he spent part of the week at their home near Manchester and the rest with his lover.
Jaginder admitted assault by beating and was conditionally discharged for 12 months and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of 20 pounds. “We understand that you have spent two nights in custody. We do require you to get help immediately and to help yourself and your family,” Judge Belinda Krieke said at Manchester Magistrates’ Court.
The couple had been together for 43 years but 12 years ago Narinder fathered two other children with another woman.
According to the Daily Telegraph, the couple belong to a well-known Sikh family in the area and the row broke out last week when Narinder tried to usher his drunken wife inside their 1.4-million pounds home in Hale Barns, Cheshire, near Manchester. She grabbed his hair and slapped him in the face as their daughter confiscated a bottle of wine from her, the Manchester magistrates were told.
