A woman in Tamil Nadu allegedly poured hot water on her husband's genitals over suspicion that he was having an affair. The man has been hospitalised with burn injuries.
Thangaraj (32) from Pudupattu got married to 29-year-old Priya seven years ago and has two daughters.
Thangaraj works as a supervisor in a cellphone parts manufacturing plant. Reports stated that the couple was involved in several quarrels over Priya suspecting Thangaraj of having an affair with a woman in his workplace.
On Tuesday, Thangaraj had gone to sleep after a verbal fight with his wife. But Priya, still upset, allegedly made boiling water and threw it over Thangaraj’s genitals.
Neighbours, who heard Thangaraj veiling in pain, rescued him and took him to Walajapet Government hospital where he was admitted with 50% burn injuries to his genitals.
Kaveripakkam Police have now filed a case against Sections 294 (punishment for obscene acts or words in public), 324 (voluntarily causing hurt), 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation), and 506 (ii) of the Indian Penal Code against Priya and initiated an investigation.
