UP Man Consumes Poison, Claims Torture from Wife & In-Laws
A shocking video has gone viral on social media, showing a man from Uttar Pradesh’s Muzaffarnagar consuming poison after allegedly being tortured and blackmailed by his wife and in-laws. The man, who has not been named, is seen in the video holding a bottle of poison and speaking about his ordeal. The video has sparked widespread outrage and concern, highlighting the plight of many vulnerable individuals who are trapped in abusive relationships.
In the video, the man can be heard saying, “Main nahin jeena chahta” which translates to “I don’t want to live”. He goes on to claim that his wife, Jyoti, along with his in-laws, are implicating him in a false case and demanding a sum of ₹12 lakh (approximately $16,500 USD) from him. The man says that he has been subjected to physical and mental torture by his family members, and that he has no option but to consume poison to end his life.
The video has sparked widespread concern and outrage, with many calling for immediate action to be taken to protect the man and his family. The Uttar Pradesh police have launched an investigation into the matter and have arrested the woman and her family members, including her parents and brother.
The incident is a stark reminder of the prevalence of domestic violence and abuse in India. According to a report by the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) 2015-16, 31.6% of women in India have experienced physical or sexual violence at the hands of their partner. The report also found that 22.3% of women have experienced emotional abuse by their partner.
The Uttar Pradesh police have launched a thorough investigation into the matter and have arrested the woman and her family members. The police have also initiated a probe into the allegations of false implication and blackmail made by the man.
The incident has also sparked a debate on the need for stricter laws to protect victims of domestic violence. Many are calling for the government to take immediate action to prevent such incidents in the future.
The man’s act of consuming poison is a desperate cry for help, and it highlights the need for immediate action to be taken to protect him and his family. The Uttar Pradesh government has promised to take all necessary steps to ensure the man’s safety and well-being, and to bring his tormentors to justice.
The incident is a wake-up call for all of us to take a stand against domestic violence and to protect the vulnerable. It is our responsibility to create a society where everyone feels safe and respected, and where no one is forced to take such drastic measures to escape their tormentors.
