**Headline:** Bihar Man Arrested for Horrific Domestic Abuse of His Wife
In a shocking incident from Muzaffarpur district, Bihar, a man has been arrested for allegedly subjecting his wife to severe torture over suspicions of an extramarital affair. The victim, who has been married for a decade and has three children, reported that her husband, Shatrughan Rai, 40, brutally assaulted her and confined her to a room for two days.
The ordeal began on June 13, when Rai accused his wife of infidelity. In a harrowing account, the woman revealed that her husband inserted chilli powder into her private parts and used a hot iron to burn her thighs. She also claimed that he attempted to electrocute her and deprived her of food and water during her confinement. Despite her desperate cries for help, neighbors did not intervene due to fear, and it was only on June 15 that her brother managed to rescue her.
Upon her rescue, the woman was taken to the Paroo Primary Health Centre, where the severity of her injuries prompted doctors to refer her to Shree Krishna Medical College and Hospital for further treatment.
On June 16, the victim filed a First Information Report (FIR) against her husband, as well as her mother-in-law, Dukhni Devi, 45, brother-in-law, Sumesh Rai, 30, and sister-in-law, Pushpa Devi, 26. While Shatrughan Rai was quickly apprehended, the other family members remain at large.
Senior police officer Ram Vinay Kumar stated, “The case is extremely serious. Charges related to domestic violence and physical assault have been registered. Raids are underway to arrest the remaining accused.”
The victim expressed that the abuse began earlier this year when her husband and his family started suspecting her of infidelity. She offered to undergo a medical test to prove her innocence, but instead faced threats to her life. “They did things that even animals wouldn’t do,” she lamented.
Authorities have assured the woman that justice will be served and that she will receive all necessary support during this traumatic time.
