Pune Woman Allegedly Tortured in Acid Attack by Husband

A disturbing case of domestic violence from Maharashtra’s Pune district has sparked outrage after a woman alleged that her husband attacked her with acid and kept her confined inside their home for over two weeks without medical treatment.

According to police officials, the incident reportedly took place on April 20 when the accused returned home in an intoxicated condition and started arguing with his wife. Investigators said he frequently suspected her character and also blamed her over personal family issues, which often led to violent confrontations.

During the argument, the accused allegedly became aggressive and physically assaulted the woman. Police stated that he later used acid meant for toilet cleaning and poured it on her private parts, causing severe injuries and unbearable pain. When the victim tried to escape from the house, he allegedly locked the doors and continued the assault.

Family members reportedly learned about the incident after hearing the woman’s screams. The accused is also alleged to have threatened her with serious consequences if she informed anyone about the attack.

Despite suffering from serious burns and pain, the woman remained inside the house for nearly fifteen days without proper treatment. Officials said she finally escaped on May 9 when her husband went to work. Taking her two daughters along, she reached her parents’ house and narrated the ordeal to her family members.

Her relatives later approached the police and filed a complaint. Based on the victim’s statement, Uruli Kanchan police registered a case against the accused husband on May 15 and launched an investigation into the incident.

The injured woman has been admitted to Sassoon Hospital in Pune where doctors are providing treatment. Police officials confirmed that legal action has been initiated and further investigation is underway.
