Accused wife’s statement reveals alleged abuse

In her statement to the police, accused Sonia claimed she had suffered years of abuse in the marriage. She said she had left her family and even changed her religion for love before marrying Bijendra. 

According to her, things were normal for the first five to six years, but later her husband became addicted to alcohol, leading to frequent fights at home.

 

 

Sonia alleged that the situation worsened after the birth of their second son, and for the past two years she had been facing severe physical and mental harassment. She claimed that her husband would often beat her, sometimes locking her inside a room, and accuse her of having bad character when she tried to speak up. 

She also said she felt helpless as no one came to her rescue despite the alleged abuse.

Police register case, accused arrested

Based on a complaint filed by the victim’s brother, police registered a case under Section 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Acting quickly, police arrested the accused woman from the Itwar Pushta area after receiving information from an informer.

During questioning, the accused reportedly told police that she was fed up with regular physical abuse by her husband, which pushed her to take the extreme step.

Family makes serious allegations

On the other hand, the victim’s family has made different claims. They alleged that the woman was addicted to alcohol and that this often led to fights between the couple.

Police are examining both versions as part of the investigation.
