Stripped, burned with iron rod, red chilli in private parts: MP woman tortured by in-laws, husband
Rajgarh: In a horrific incident, a 32-year-old woman in Madhya Pradesh’s Rajgarh district was allegedly assaulted by her husband and in-laws, who burned her private parts with a hot iron rod and applied chilli powder.
The victim, an ASHA worker, alleged that her ordeal began when a neighbour, identified as Rohit Ruhela, entered her home asking for a steam machine and then attempted to sexually assault her. This angered her in-laws, who accused her of bringing dishonour to the family, as reported by the Times of India on Saturday.
She was subjected to physical violence by her husband and in-laws, as they suspected her of being in a relationship with the neighbour.
“Blaming me, the sister-in-law called my father-in-law and mother-in-law. All three of them stripped me naked on the cold night and beat me with kicks, punches, and sticks. I became unconscious,” the victim stated in her complaint.
The mother-in-law allegedly burned the victim's private parts, thighs, and other parts of her body with a hot iron rod, while the father-in-law applied chilli powder to her private parts.
The excruciating pain led her to faint. When she regained consciousness, her father-in-law and husband took her on a bike and abandoned the victim near a police station.
A local man noticed the injured woman and informed her family about the incident, who then filed a police complaint.
The victim, who has four daughters and one son, is now seeking the return of her children, who are currently in the custody of her in-laws, added the report.
A case has been registered under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including Section 115(2) for voluntarily causing hurt, Section 74 for assault on a woman, Section 64 for rape, and Section 3(5) for common intentions.

Theatre stampede: Allegations against me false, says Allu Arjun on Telangana CM's comments
Hyderabad, Dec 21: Actor Allu Arjun on Saturday said the incident in which a woman died and her son was hospitalised at a theatre here where 'Pushpa-2' was screened on December 4 was purely an accident and denied the allegations made by Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy on the roadshow.
Hours after Reddy slammed the actor for holding a roadshow and waving to the crowds at the theatre, without referring to anyone, the 'Pushpa 2' star refuted the allegations and said it was not a procession or a roadshow.
"There is a lot of misinformation that I behaved in a particular way. These are wrong allegations. It’s humiliating and a character assassination. There is a lot of misinformation going on, a lot of false allegations, especially character assassination," he told reporters in a hurriedly held press conference.
Describing the death of the woman as an accident, he said he was not blaming anyone as it is an unfortunate incident.
A 35-year-old woman died and her eight-year-old son was hospitalised on December 4 during a stampede-like situation at the Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad when thousands of fans jostled to have a glimpse of the actor at the premiere of the blockbuster 'Pushpa 2'.
Following the incident, the city police registered a case against Allu Arjun, his security team, and the theatre management under different sections of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) at the Chikkadpally police station based on the complaint lodged by the deceased woman's family.
Allu Arjun was arrested by the city police in connection with the death of the woman on December 13. The Telangana High Court granted him a four-week interim bail on the same day and he was released from a prison here on December 14 morning.
