Sukhram Vishnoi, 55, was returning home on Tuesday night when a group of six men barged into his house and assaulted him, cops said.
Detectives suspect the perpetrators of the attack were Sukhram’s daughter’s former in-laws, who were said to be furious with her decision to remarry after she split from her husband.
Police allege his daughter’s ex-husband and his brother were involved in the horror assault.
According to Sukhram’s family, the thugs sliced off his nose and ears and fled from the scene with them.

Sukhram’s daughter recently got remarried to another man after she walked out on her first husband six years ago.
The woman filed a case against her in-laws a few years back, sparking police to file charges for dowry harassment, cops said.
