New-Delhi: In a shocking case, a woman allegedly poured boiling oil and red chilli powder on her husband while he was sleeping in Delhi.
A 28-year-old pharmaceutical firm worker Dinesh Kumar returned home late from work in South Delhi’s Madangir, had dinner and went to sleep. As he opened his eyes, he saw his wife Sadhna pouring boiling oil and red chilli powder on him at around 3 am, said police.
While pouring the oil, Sadhna, who has been arrested, allegedly threatened: “Agar shor machaya toh aur tel dalungi(Will pour more oil if you scream).”
The neighbours immediately alerted by the screams of the husband, Dinesh. As they rushed to the door and knocked on it, the wife, Sadhana, refused to open. The landlord, Nathuram, also called Dinesh’s brother-in-law, Ram Sagar and the two rushed him to the Madan Mohan Malviya hospital.
He was immediately admitted to Safdarjung hospital with severe burns and has been admitted to the ICU in critical condition.
The police have started their investigation, after receiving a medico-legal case report from Madan Mohan Malviya Hospital.
The police, meanwhile, have lodged a complaint at the Ambedkar Nagar Police Station and booked Sadhna under sections 118 (voluntarily causing hurt or grievous hurt using dangerous weapons or means), 124 (voluntarily causing grievous hurt by acid) and 326 (mischief by injury, inundation, fire or explosive substance, etc) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
Dinesh, a native of Uttar Pradesh has been married to Sadhna for the past eight years. The duo had a troubled relationship and they had a dispute for quite long time. A complaint has been registered against Dinesh two years ago, but the matter was resolved. Another complaint was filed against the man some months ago.
