Delhi SHOCKER! Woman pours boiling oil on husband while he slept, sprinkles chilli powder on burns, warns ‘agar shor machaya toh…’

In a shocking incident, a woman in  South Delhi allegedly poured boiling oil on her husband and sprinkled chilli powder on his burns, and threatened to inflict more torture on the man if he screams. According to the police, the incident took place on October 3, when the victim, Dinesh, a 28-year-old pharmaceutical firm worker, lay asleep in his Madangir house.

Wife pours hot oil on sleeping husband

As per the victim’s complaint, his wife poured hot oil on his body at around 3 AM while he lay asleep, and with their 8-year-old daughter in the house. Dinesh woke up screaming and his shock, but his wife sprinkled chilli powder on his burns, and threatened to pour more boiling oil over him if he dared to scream.

“Agar shor machaya to aur garam tel daal doongi’ (if you scream, I will pour more oil on you),” she warned Dinesh, according to the victim’s complaint filed at the Ambedkar Nagar Police Station.

In his complaint, Dinesh said that on the fateful day, he had returned home late from work, ate dinner, and went to bed. “My wife and daughter were sleeping nearby. Around 3.15 am, I suddenly felt a sharp, burning pain across my body. I saw my wife standing and pouring boiling oil on my torso and face. Before I could get up or call for help, she sprinkled red chilli powder on my burns,” he alleged.

Dinesh screamed for help which alarmed neighbours, while his landlord’s family, who live on the floor below, rushed to the house after hearing the commotion.

“My father went upstairs to see what was happening. The door was locked. His wife had locked the door from inside. We asked them to open the door. When the door finally opened, we saw him writhing in pain and his wife hiding inside the house,” the house owner’s daughter, Anjali, told news agency PTI.

According to Anjali, her father tried to intervene but the woman told them she was taking Dinesh to the hospital. “But when she came out with him, she headed towards the opposite direction. We got suspicious. My father stopped her, arranged an auto, and rushed Dinesh to the hospital alone.”

The landlord rushed Dinesh to a nearby hospital, where doctors referred him to the Safdarjung Hospital for advanced treatment as he had sustained critical burn injuries on his chest, face, and arms, with the medical report later describing his injuries as “dangerous”.

Why Dinesh’s wife attacked him?

Dinesh told the police that they had been married for eight years but their relationship had soured in recent years, and two years, his wife had even filed a complaint him with the Crime Against Women (CAW) Cell. However, the matter was settled through a compromise.

As per the police, based on Dinesh’s complaint, an FIR has been registered at the Ambedkar Nagar Police Station, and the accused has been booked under sections 118 (voluntarily causing hurt or grievous hurt using dangerous weapons or means), 124 (voluntarily causing grievous hurt by acid) and 326 (mischief by injury, inundation, fire or explosive substance, etc) of the BNS.

However, no arrests have been made in the case so far, police added.
