Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): A 32-year-old woman was subjected to intense torture by her in-laws and husband in Madhya Pradesh's Rajgarh district . The accused family members stripped her naked, burnt her thighs with iron rod, rubbed chilli powder on her private parts.

Apparently, this was the family's way to punish her after her sister-in-law spotted their neighbour trying to harass the victim! Instead of targeting the accused nieghbour, the victim's husband and sister-in-law blamed her of bringing shame to the family.

The incident took place on December 13 and was reported on Saturday.

Police have booked her husband and his family.

According to information, the victim, a 32-year-old ASHA worker, alleged that her ordeal began when on the night of December 13, her neighbour entered their residence asking for a steam machine. When the victim entered her room to get the said machine, the neighbour followed her and tried to sexually harass her. Fortunately, the victim's sister-in-law intervened and stopped him before he could do anything.

This incident angered her in-laws, who in turn called her names and said that she dishonoured the family. Suspecting the victim to be in a relationship with the neighbour, her in-laws subjected her to intense physical abuse throughout the night. The abuse continued till the next morning and ended with the family stripping her naked and throwing her in the courtyard.

Red chilli powder rubbed on private parts

The victim was subjected to a series of extremely painful and inhumane acts. The victim alleged that her father-in-law rubbed red chilli powder on her private parts while the mother-in-law burnt the inner parts of her thighs with a hot iron rod.

The excruciating pain led to the victim being unconscious. When the victim regained consciousness, she was stripped naked and thrown into the courtyard. Later, her husband and father-in-law forcibly made her sit on a bike and abandoned her on the Gopisagar Dam in Guna.

Rescued by a passerby

A passerby saw the victim in this condition and called up the police immediately. Arriving promptly, police sent the victim to a local hospital where she was given proper treatment. Based on the statements of the victim, police have filed an FIR against her mother-in-law, father-in-law, husband, sister-in-law, and the neighbour under relevant sections of the BNS.
