Ludhiana Dowry Horror: Husband Allegedly Drags Wife by Hair, Beats Her on Road Over Thar and Bike Demands (WATCH)

A man in Ludhiana was caught on CCTV brutally assaulting his wife in the street after she refused his dowry demands for a Mahindra Thar and a motorcycle. The woman's brother was also attacked when he tried to intervene and rescue her. Police have recorded statements and are preparing to register an FIR regarding the harassment and violence.

A man was caught on CCTV assaulting his wife in the street in Punjab’s Ludhiana after she refused to meet his demands for a Mahindra Thar SUV and a motorcycle as dowry. While other neighbors try to step in and diffuse the situation, the video shows the woman being pummeled and pulled by her hair. The incident happened in Ludhiana's Jassia Green Enclave neighborhood. The woman, identified as Twinkle, alleged that her husband, Ritish Sharma, had been harassing and assaulting her over repeated demands for expensive vehicles following their love marriage.

Twinkle claims that the abuse started three months after their marriage when Sharma reportedly used her card to borrow Rs 50,000. After that, she said, he began to demand a Mahindra Thar SUV and would beat her if she didn't agree.

The woman also said that her husband had started requesting a motorbike during Navratri. He allegedly assaulted her inside their home when she refused to comply with his demand, then dragged her by her hair into the street and kept beating her.

CCTV footage of the crime shows the guy assaulting the woman in public. As the situation develops, a few neighbours can also be seen making an effort to step in.

Twinkle said that while she had complained about her husband to the police, nothing had been done about it.
