According to a report in Hindustan Times, after worshipping Lord Shiva, the woman identified as Lakshmi Nirala, allegedly cut her tongue and offered it to God. The woman did so while praying for her daughter-in-law Jyoti Nirala's safe return. According to police officials, Nirala's daughter-in-law Jyoti went missing with her child on August 14.
Srinivas Singh, officer-in-charge (OC), said, "The woman was not ready to go to a hospital, but we somehow managed to convince her and took her to MGMMCH in Jamshedpur. She is now stable and recovering well but is not able to talk. The woman works as domestic help."

"We searched for Jyoti throughout the night on Friday, but could not find her. Later, I went to RIT police with my son but was told to come the next morning. Since Saturday was Independence Day, we went to the police station in the evening. Lakshmi cut her tongue on Sunday," Nandu stated.
