2 days after marriage, man batters wife with bricks, flees spot thinking she is dead

Delhi Police has arrested an accused who allegedly beat up his wife with bricks just two days after the marriage and fled the crime scene thinking she had died.

The arrest came nearly three months after the alleged incident took place. The woman, who was recovering from her injuries at a hospital, narrated the entire incident to the police following which they arrested Ravi Singh alias Tinku.

The chilling incident took place in Bawana area of Delhi. Two days after his marriage with 22-year-old Madhuri, Ravi brought his wife to Bawana and took her to an under-construction site on the pretext of some work. Thereafter, he allegedly hit his wife on the head with bricks and sticks. Thinking that she was dead, Ravi fled the spot.

According to police, they received information on June 13 about an injured woman lying unconscious at an under-construction site. Police reached the spot and rushed the woman to a nearby hospital. Police sources said that the woman underwent treatment for the next two months and during that period remained unconscious.

Once she regained consciousness, she started remembering her ordeal and narrated the same to the police. After recording the woman's statement, the police arrested her husband Ravi. Accused Ravi later confessed to his crime and said that while he was in a relationship with the woman for nearly two years, he never wanted to marry her.

Under pressure from family, villagers and local police, Ravi married Madhuri and brought her to Delhi with an alleged plan to get rid of her as soon as possible. During questioning, Ravi said that after hitting her with bricks, he fled the spot thinking that she had died.

After police reached Sitapur in Uttar Pradesh to arrest Ravi, the latter realised that his wife was alive.
