Shahjahanpur, India: In a stomach-churning incident, a man tied his wife to the ceiling fan and brutally beat her with belt.

He even filmed the entire incident and sent the video to his brother-in-law threatening that he will further torture her if his demands of dowry are not met.
The incident is of Uttar Pradesh’s Shahjahanpur district, where the husband wanted her to ask for Rs. 50,000 from her parents.

When she refused to do so, she was tortured and beaten till she fell unconscious, reports NDTV.
The woman said that her husband beat her with belt and when she fell unconscious he tied her hands to the ceiling using her dupatta.

‘He thrashed me brutally for 3-4 hours after which I fell unconscious. When I re-gained my consciousness, both my hands were tied to the ceiling,’ said the woman.

The woman further said, ‘I am not educated and that’s why I am in this condition. My life is destroyed.’

A case has been registered under relevant sections of Dowry Prohibition Act against the victim’s husband and four other people of his family and investigation has been initiated.

While no arrest has been made so far as the accused and his family members are absconding, the police took cognizance of the video and responded.
