A shocking case of domestic violence has surfaced from Dewas district in Madhya Pradesh, where a husband brutally attacked his own wife and slashed her lip with a knife. Abrar, a resident of Garib Nawaz Colony under the Audyogik police station area, lured his 27 year old wife Rihana out of their home on the pretext of taking her out for a meal, but instead drove her to a deserted stretch of the Shankargarh hill, far from the city. The moment they reached the isolated spot, he carried out the horrifying assault that has left the entire area in shock.
Lured out for a meal, taken to a deserted hill
According to Rihana, Abrar told her he was taking her out for a meal when he left the house with her. Midway, he changed direction and steered her away from the crowded parts of the city toward the desolate stretch of Shankargarh hill. As soon as they arrived at the isolated spot, his behaviour changed completely and he turned on her.
Beaten with fists and kicks, then slashed with a knife
Rihana said that once they reached the deserted spot, Abrar first beat her mercilessly with kicks and punches. As she screamed in pain and fear trying to save herself, he pulled out a sharp knife he had with him and brutally slashed her lip. She collapsed on the spot, bleeding heavily. What shocked people further was that Abrar then fled the scene, abandoning his severely injured wife and their infant daughter writhing in pain at that same deserted, desolate hill.
A love marriage three years ago, followed by years of abuse
Rihana was somehow taken to a hospital and is currently undergoing treatment at the district hospital. Speaking from her hospital bed in visible pain, she said that she and Abrar had married for love, happily, about three years ago. She had hoped her life would be happy after the wedding, but her husband's true nature surfaced soon after the marriage. She said Abrar repeatedly assaulted her and subjected her to both mental and physical abuse.
Police say arrest expected soon
Speaking about the case, Audyogik police station in charge Shashikant Chaurasiya said that police have registered a case against Abrar based on Rihana's statement. The accused has been on the run since the incident, and several police teams are conducting raids at multiple locations to track him down. Police said he would soon be arrested and put behind bars.
