Dhenkanal: A woman attempted self-immolation in the SP office premises of Dhenkanal in Odisha on Saturday. Alleging mental torture by a relative brother-in-law, she had approached the Town Police Station and Sadar Police Station several times but, feeling she did not receive justice, she allegedly attempted self-immolation in the SP office premises today.
The woman is from Ankarantipur village under Sadar Police Station limits in Dhenkanal district.
According to the woman, after being mentally tortured by her brother-in-law (diara), she approached the Dhenkanal Sadar Police Station and Town Police Station multiple times seeking justice. However, instead of receiving help, she was allegedly shuttled between the two stations without any action being taken, which left her frustrated.
In desperation, she brought petrol and a matchbox to the SP office premises today and allegedly attempted self-immolation. Fortunately, police personnel intervened promptly, restrained her, and rescued her from harming herself.
Following the incident, Dhenkanal SP has called the IICs of both the concerned Police Stations and investigating the matter.
