The woman with deep cut injuries in her neck and lower abdomen is now undergoing treatment at the SCB Medical College Hospital here.
According to Malgodown police, one Prabir Barik of Erasama area in Jagatsinghpur district had married only four days ago and the couple was staying in a lodge here near College Square.
"This afternoon, Prabir's elder brother Biswambar entered into the room in which the couple was staying and stabbed the newlywed bride twice with a knife", said local police inspector D P Patro.
Quizzing both the brothers, police learnt that Biswambar and the woman were in a relationship for over five years. But somehow, that relationship fell apart and the woman later enticed Prabir and married him secretly in a temple earlier this week, police said.
