I don’t know the reason why he hates me. Often, he used to ask me to leave. We got married in June 2006. He used to assault me and often abused me and my sisters. I have tried my level best to persuade him to have children but he had no physical relations with me.”
“We had fight over the same issue on Wednesday night.I have no regrets as I suffered a lot of humiliation and mental torture. I had no answers when my relatives asked me the reason for not having children,” she added.
“The doctors have performed a surgery on my brother. He had just come out of the bathroom when she attacked him. As my brother lay drenched in blood, she latched the room from outside and walked off. My brother called the police,” the brother of the victim told police. “Apart from the private part, she hurt him nowhere else. We have also informed her family members about the incident. My brother has also given his statements to the police.”
