A harrowing incident unfolded in Faridabad, Haryana, where a woman driven to despair by alleged domestic harassment reportedly ingested rat poison alongside her three children. The tragic episode took place within the jurisdiction of the Palla police station in the Surya Vihar Phase-2 locality. According to preliminary details, the mother administered the toxic substance to her children before consuming it herself. As their physical condition deteriorated rapidly, the family's daughter stepped in to alert emergency services for immediate help.
Daughter Dials Emergency Helpline for Help
The ordeal came to light when the daughter, Srishti, made an emergency call to the Dial 112 helpline to seek police intervention. A local police team reached the scene swiftly, taking custody of the distressed mother and her three children to rush them to the BK Civil Hospital. Following initial medical stabilization, attending doctors referred all four patients to hospitals in Delhi due to the severity of their condition. Police officials noted that no formal written complaint had been registered at the Palla police station yet, but proper legal steps will follow as soon as a formal grievance is submitted.
Husband Accused of Character Assault and Physical Abuse
Investigating authorities revealed that the husband, Sunil, is originally from Bihar and serves as a personnel in the Indian Navy. Due to his official posting in Delhi, he typically returns home to his family only after intervals of several days, while his wife is employed in a marketing department. The couple's daughter Srishti came forward with serious allegations, claiming that her father routinely harassed both her and her mother. She stated that he frequently cast unwarranted doubts on her mother's character and subjected her to physical violence.
Escalation Following a Morning Dispute
The friction inside the household reached a boiling point on the morning of the incident while Srishti was in her room on the rooftop. According to her statement, her father seized her mobile phone and subjected her to verbal abuse. When she called her mother to come downstairs, the father allegedly hurled abuses at her as well. Overwhelmed by the mounting distress and humiliation, the mother took the drastic step of consuming the poison by afternoon, prompting an ongoing police investigation into the matter.
