Manoj Prabhakar's wife arrested for assaulting neighbour

New Delhi, June 2 (UNI) Sandhya Prabhakar, wife of former test cricketer Manoj Prabhakar, has been arrested by the police following a 'violent spat' with her neighbour in Kalkaji area of South Delhi.

Fight between Sandhya and her neighbour Colonel S S Chibber began late last evening at her Nehru Enclave apartment in Kalkaji, when she tried to 'replug' the wire in the retired Army officer's meter, said a senior police official.

Chibber, who accused Sandhya of tampering his meter by 'plugging' her wire into his connection, and his wife were attacked by the cricketer's wife and her friend Madhuri (26, resident of Jangpura) late last night after she once again tried to 'steal' power.

After being reprimanded for her 'act', she assaulted the colonel and his wife with a sharp object, probably a blade.

''Both Sandhya and Madhuri were arrested after the Colonel complained of being attacked by the two which resulted in cut injuries,'' the official added.

They were produced in a court today which granted them bail.

Cricketer Manoj Prabhakar and his wife Sandhya are living separately. Divorce proceedings are on between the two.
